Well, worth the 35 minute or so drive from Monterrey. Pass through a semi-industrial area but then the scenery and natural setting takes over and is quite nice. Highly recommend visiting these caves which are accessible by walking, but it's a pretty tough uphill walk, so I would suggest taking the cable car, which is referred to here as a funicular. The caves are magnificent, but be prepared to walk about 750 steps up and down. Guide was excellent, even though I did not understand everything he said, since I am an English speaker with limited Spanish comprehension. Well, worth the drive time and thoroughly enjoyed the visit! read more

Incredible cave system with stunning rock formations -- stalactites and stalagmites everywhere! The guided tour and cable car up the mountain make the experience easy and scenic, and it's a must‑see for nature lovers and families visiting Monterrey. Well worth a half day trip from Monterrey. read more

Wow. Wow. Wow! Beautiful! We visited in October and the butterflies were migrating, one of the most beautiful hikes I've taken. So happy to have completed this hike with my hubby. Difficulty is 6/10 it was a challenge and you'd better be in shape or you will be out of breathe and stopping often. This is top 5 for me here in MTY. Top 5 best places to visit. Great photo opportunities and a great workout. read more

We really loved the caves! The gondola ride looks super scary and amazing in photos but it isn't that high off the ground so it isn't even scary. There are about 740 steps in the cave. That being said there is no crawling it is a well developed trail and easy. If you have time check it out! Nice experience and of course it is cool inside. read more
