La Huasteca
Parque La Huasteca
A limestone canyon in Santa Catarina with towering vertical cliffs. It is a favorite for climbing, cycling and hiking.
La Huasteca Canyon is in Santa Catarina, about 20 kilometers west of Monterrey, within Cumbres de Monterrey National Park. Pressure has folded its limestone layers into dramatic, upright cliffs several hundred meters high. Near the entrance are lookouts and trails. Deeper in the canyon are well-known climbing and mountain-biking routes, and off-road vehicles can also take you deeper into the gorge. The views are expansive, and the sun is strong, so bring plenty of water and sunscreen. The park area near the entrance may charge a small fee.
