Monterrey, Mexico

April 30th, 2009

Some photos of the beautiful and wealthy city of Monterrey, capital of the State of Nuevo León, Mexico, the 3rd most populous country with 3.8 million inhabitants in the metropolitan area, considered the safest city in Latin America and holds the highest income per capita in Mexico.

The city is known as the “City of the Mountains” by locating it in one of the spikes of the Sierra Madre and simply grew around a mountain, the Cerro de la Silla, a postcard unmistakable.

Its main attractions are, of course, the majestic mountains. The city offers a wide range of scenery to take your breath, trails and places for mountaineering.

The mixture of modern urban life in a city that virtually nothing should be in infrastructure to other cities of the “First World”, with nature and the mountains here on the offer, perhaps, a unique combination for tourists.
