Chipinque Ecological Park
Parque Ecológico Chipinque
A forest reserve in the Sierra Madre foothills at the southern edge of the city, with hiking trails, cycling routes and lookouts over the metropolitan skyline.
Parque Ecológico Chipinque lies on the south side of San Pedro Garza García, in the Sierra Madre Oriental. It ranges from about 730 to 2,200 meters above sea level and is part of Cumbres de Monterrey National Park. The park has several trails of varying difficulty. The most famous leads to the Mauricio Peak (La M), where you can see pine-oak forests and signs of black bears. The lookouts offer views over central Monterrey, and the sunsets and night views are especially lovely. Entry is charged per person or per vehicle. Parking fills up early on weekend mornings.
