Monterrey, the city known as the Sultana of the North, will not only impress you with its modern infrastructure and rich culture, but also with its splendid natural landscapes, which are perfect for a variety of outdoor activities.
Are you planning a getaway to Monterrey? Stay at Camino Real Fashion Drive, where you can enjoy a vibrant environment full of options to stay active and get to know the city.
Here are six outdoor activities you can enjoy near your starting point at Camino Real Fashion Drive Monterrey, which, although located in the financial heart of the city, offers a wide range of recreation and culture.
Evidence of this are the different places you will find in the Historic Center of this capital, which will allow you to experience the city in a different way.
6. Paseo de Santa Lucía
It is a route that spans several kilometers and connects two of the most important points in Monterrey: the Macroplaza area and Parque Fundidora.
Thanks to its extension, in addition to being one of the busiest areas of the city, you can walk, run, or do any other type of exercise at any time of the day, although we recommend doing it in the morning or afternoon due to the intense heat.
You will pass through many green areas and, if you have a more leisurely tour in mind, you can also hop on a boat that will take you along the entire canal of the paseo, while a tour guide explains the different elements you will see.
At the end of the tour, if you started from the Macroplaza side, you will find the Museum of Mexican History, the Museum of Contemporary Art of Monterrey (Marco), and the Museum of the Northeast (MUNE), so you can give this outdoor adventure a twist.
5. Club Campestre de Monterrey
This is one of the most private and beautiful areas you will find in Monterrey, and if you have the opportunity to enter, you will enjoy the services it offers, such as tennis courts and its golf course.
From here, you will have a direct view of the Cerro de la Silla, as well as the most important buildings in this city.
As a good private club, it has attractions for all types of audiences, such as a podiatrist, massages, aesthetics, restaurants, and more.
This place also hosts private parties in its event hall, as well as tournaments where you can cheer on your favorite athlete.
4. Parque Rufino Tamayo
Just a couple of minutes from Camino Real Fashion Drive Monterrey, you will find one of the most beautiful and visited parks by the locals. It is Parque Rufino Tamayo, which will become your ally to enjoy the tranquility of this city.
Here you can start your day very early, as the park opens from 6:00 AM, which is why many residents of San Pedro Garza García and Monterrey come to run and do other physical activities.
3. Parque Chipinque
One of the most popular places in Monterrey for outdoor activities is the Parque Ecológico Chipinque, where families gather every weekend to enjoy a hike and, of course, a barbecue.
Thanks to its large size, you can find unique activities such as rappelling and canyoning, something you haven't seen in any of the previously mentioned places.
If you are going with young children, you don't have to worry about them not having anything to entertain themselves, as they can do everything from wildlife sightings to recreational areas while you complete an exercise routine or connect with nature.
The climate in this place is quite cool, so we recommend that you wear comfortable clothing and, above all, sports shoes that will help you explore the more than 1,700 hectares that make up this ecological reserve.
One point you should keep in mind is that in this area there are some bears, which, if you are lucky, you may see during your visit. In that case, since they are looking for food, you should maintain a distance and respect for these animals, as well as avoid direct contact with this species.
2. Cascadas del Cerro de la Silla
The Cerro de la Silla is one of the characteristic places of the capital of Nuevo León and even its M-shaped silhouette is a source of pride for the locals, but in addition to that, it has one of the most beautiful natural areas in the region.
In addition to animals and plants, you will also find a large number of waterfalls along one of its trails, which will represent a slight challenge of resistance for those who are just starting with hiking.
The vegetation and the waterfalls make it a quite cool place, which at the same time presents a challenge when advancing because the path will become a bit slippery, especially during the rainy season.
In addition to the spectacular views, you will also see a river with crystal-clear waters, which will relax you to the point that you will take more than one break to admire the beauty of this place.
The tranquility in every corner makes it a place where many families also gather to have a picnic or enjoy the sunset of this city, which is reflected in the glass of the buildings.
1. La Estanzuela
About 30 minutes from Camino Real Fashion Drive Monterrey, you will find this outdoor place that offers a wide range of activities.
Rappelling, canyoning, hiking, and more will put your physical abilities to the test, and they will also serve as a different weekend if you live in Monterrey.
Its trails also have waterfalls, ponds, and even the stream "El Calabozo," which has provided water to millions of people for over 100 years.
Specialists estimate that the complete tour can be done in about four hours, but in the end, it will depend on the fun and adventure you want to have. However, keep in mind that the park closes at 5:00 PM.
At the end of your tour, you can enjoy all the options that Fashion Drive Plaza has for you, as well as the services such as the pool and gym that the hotel offers.
Camino Real Fashion Drive Monterrey awaits you for your next excursion to become one with nature.
