Introduction
Mexico's third largest city is set in the spectacular Sierra Madre mountain region of north-west Mexico. Three million residents populate Monterrey's metropolitan area, and when you visit here, you realise that Monterrey is more like the United States and less like Mexico.
Monterrey is in fact, Mexico's current commercial and industrial powerhouse. Many of Mexico's biggest companies are headquartered here.
Within Monterrey, you will also find some stunning ecological attractions; including caves, waterfalls and of course, the majestic and famous Sierra Madre mountain range.
