In this brief text, we will tell you a little about the unmissable tours and places, so start planning your itinerary and remember to visit these sites for your tourist agenda!

What are the Top-Rated things to do in Monterrey?

• Monterrey in nature: If ecotourism is your thing, then you must add Cola de Caballo Waterfall to your list. Located within the Cumbres National Park, you will see the 27-meter waterfall that gives it its name. You will also visit the La Boca Dam and some areas known for handicrafts.

Another place you must visit is the Grutas de Garcia. You can find packages that offer transportation from your hotel in Monterrey, to take you to the Municipality of Garcia. You can observe impressive rock formations at the highest part of a mountain. In addition you will also see stalactites and stalagmites. Ideal for those who have an explorer inside.

• Tour of urban Monterrey: Choose a tour or city tour that includes a walk through the Macroplaza located in the central part of the city. Here you will find large green areas surrounded by the most important monuments of Nuevo León. The atmosphere is electric as it is a lively area, thanks to the series of street artists who usually do their acts in the open air. We suggest you visit it also at night since its fountains and walls are illuminated, and you can take some authentic photographs.

Do not forget about the tour of El Paseo de Santa Lucía. This is a must-visit place since it is the largest artificial river in Latin America and has boat rides to explore the entire periphery travelling its channel and reaching Fundidora Park, another place that you cannot miss. These tours usually last a day, so if you have little time, these types of tours are ideal for express tourism.

• Tour of Magical Towns: Although there are numerous towns in the state, there are a couple that we would like to suggest, for example, the Magical Town of Bustamante. This place is known as 'the oasis of the region' thanks to the immense green trees that surround the town. We suggest you try some typical sweets and the famous Cabrito Asado, a savoury dish that will delight your palate.

Another charming place you can visit, thanks to a guided tour departing from Monterrey, is Santiago. It will only take you 30 minutes to get to this town that will make you fall in love with its views of the famous Cerro de la Silla and the Sierra Madre. Within this town, you will find the 2 most famous canyons of the state and favourite of all canyoning sportsmen, the Chipitín Canyon and the Matacanes Canyon. It will be a cultural plan combined with adventure.

These are just some ideas to help you plan the type of tour you want to do, whether rural or urban. There are offers perfect for family and friend groups, depending on the type of excitement and interest they are looking for. Ensure that you check the package thoroughly and if tickets are inclusive. Some packages include food too, so you will not have to ask or plan where to eat.

We must tell you that most of the packages will include transportation. So, you do not have to worry about the commute, distance and time! Also, do not be surprised if what you are looking for is a guided tour and you end up riding a horse since Monterrey is a city to enjoy in all possible ways and the tour guides usually plan extra activities for you so that you take the best memory of this great city.

And as the locals would say, "Get in the shot... we're going for a ride!"
