Santiago Day Trip

Discover a historic village nestled in Nuevo León and its picturesque surroundings through this full-day excursion to the 'Magical Town' of Santiago from Monterrey. 

Details of the Day Trip

At a time that suits you, we will collect you from the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Monterrey and embark on our journey to Santiago, recognized as one of Mexico's celebrated Pueblos Mágicos. 

Initially, we will venture to the outskirts to experience two famous waterfalls in the area: Puente de la Cruz and Velo de Novia. The latter, known as 'Bridal Veil' falls, plunges 50 meters and features a unique shape reflected in its name. After enjoying the scenic waterfalls, we will proceed to a viewpoint overlooking Sierra Madre Occidental and Sierra de la Silla, offering stunning vistas over the adjacent pine, oak, and mesquite forests. 

Next, we will visit the renowned Presa La Boca dam and the magnificent Cola de Caballo waterfall, which cascades 25 meters. Here, you will have some time to explore the natural surroundings at your own pace. If you wish, options such as a catamaran ride, kayaking, quad excursions, or horseback riding are available! 

We will then head to the Los Cavazos workshop, showcasing exquisite handicrafts, after which you will have an hour to enjoy freely.

Upon arriving in the town of Santiago, a guided tour of the historic center awaits. As you stroll through Plaza Ocampo, the baroque architecture of the church of Santiago Apostle and remnants of the ancient aqueduct will capture your attention. 

After nearly 7 hours of exploration in and around Santiago, we will return you to the designated meeting point in Monterrey.
