Things To Do

San Pedro Restaurants

San Pedro is full of great restaurants! Some of our favorites are: Gallo 71, La Nacional, Libertad, Pangea, Hotaru, La Americana Taqueria, Taqueria Orinoco, Cara de Vaca, Frida Chilaquiles, Señora Tanaka, La Gran Barra, Botanero Moritas, Los Hidalgos, Koli and Vasconcelos.

Chipinque A.B.P. Ecological Park

Chipinque is full of excellent hikes up San Pedro's famous cerro. We spent most weekends here enjoying the cooler weather, beautiful views over Monterrey, and the abundant wildlife. A must do while in Monterrey!

Parque Fundidora

Parque Fundidora is the site of the original steel foundry, the lifeblood of industrial Monterrey. Today it is a beautiful park where the city has preserved much of the old equipment to create something of a living museum. Take a stroll around what made the Monterrey you see today possible!

Mirador del Obispado

The Mirador del Obispado is a great place to go for a beautiful view over all of Monterrey. You can get there by Uber/car and it is free to enter - usually a massive Mexican Flag is hanging up above marking the spot!

Barrio Antiguo

Monterrey's Barrio Antiguo has many streets shutdown to car traffic full with restaurants, street vendors, and even live music. It is a great area to walk through during the day and get a taste of "old" Monterrey.

MARCO- Museum of Contemporary Art of Monterrey

Mexican History Museum

The Museum of Mexican History is connected with the Museum of the Northeast of Mexico and the Museum of the Palacio- the three of which have beautiful collections where you can learn more about the region

Santiago

Santiago is a really charming little pueblo to the south of Monterrey. It is full of traditional architecture, beautiful views over the mountains, and in the main square there are vendors and shops selling local artesanias! We'd recommend the restaurants Las Palomas in the center or Rincon Gamma Santiago which is a bit out of town overlooking the lake- great spots for brunch. Near town is the Cola de Caballo- a nice waterfall to visit.

Bodegas del Viento

Bodegas del Viento is a gorgeous vineyard nearby to Saltillo. It is a great place to spend some time appreciating the area's natural beauty while enjoying some estate grown wine. This is also the closest vineyard to Monterrey.

Casa Madero

Casa Madero is the oldest continuous vineyard in the Americas- they make some award winning wines and offer tours + tastings to visitors.

Don Leo Vinedos

Don Leo is the most beautiful vineyard in the area, but also the furthest away- approximately 3 hours from Monterrey and 1.5 hours from Saltillo. The setting is worth the drive- contact them in advance for a reservation!
