Mexico - Monterrey, Cuatro Ciénegas (en Inglés)

Yes, Mexico has also beautiful places to see. I spent a few years in the north. This picture is from Cuatro Cienegas. In fact, it's Mike's picture (a good friend of mine) . The place is called Poza Azul. This area is very famous because it is a very deserted site, except for areas like the one in the picture. Cuatro Cienegas has been designed an UNESCO site.

Those two pictures are from the same northern area. The first, this Tarantino-like scenario is a church. So if you want to go to mass, you have to climb a few stairs every sunday. They say that up there, you're closer to God... well you never know.




The second one was taken in Bustamante, in a mountain that has very beautiful caves. You have to be there early in the morning, and then when you descend back to the town, you can go an have a superb cabrito (goat) cooked in a traditional oven... the north of Mexico is quite dry, but there are plenty of places to visit, for sure.




If you ever think of climbing, don't forget to go to the Huasteca, an enormous and beautiful place where the mountain range that comes from the center of the country, ends. From that point on, what you see is nothing but the flat land that continues on and on to Texas and so forth. Monterrey is the capital city of the northeastern part of Mexico, the second city in economic importance... yes, I know it sounds like business all over the strets... and in fact it is, but let me tell you something: the surroundings are just great! The mountains, Nature, the Parks... we have to go sometime again.
