Nuevo León

Directions

This route is located approximately 70 km from Monterrey (about a 2-hour drive). Take the road to Santiago, and upon reaching El Cercado (after Villa de Santiago, near the Presa de la Boca dam), turn right toward the mountains, heading for Cola de Caballo. Drive up the road for about 12 km until you reach a spot known as Puerto Genovevo, where you’ll make a sharp left turn and begin driving on a dirt road. Depending on the season, there is sometimes a Civil Protection checkpoint here. From this point on, a 4×4 vehicle is recommended. About 9 km later, we’ll cross the river at a spot known as Las Adjuntas, where there are a couple of restaurants and recreational areas. We’ll continue along the dirt road; eventually, it becomes more challenging since it’s a “single lane” for both directions of traffic. On one side is the mountainside, and on the other, a ravine. Eventually, this dirt road will take us to the town of Potrero Redondo.
