I had a great time at La Huasteca. Polo from Noreste Adventures communicated very well, and Alex, my tour guide was great. He speaks perfect english. Las Grutas experience from Noreste Adventures is a fun one too. Do both when you come to Monterrey.

I have a great experience at La Huasteca Canyon. I liked the fact that we were a small group. Our guide, Polo, was amazing, we had a very good understanding of the canyon and also good group conversations. Overall, a super enjoyable experience in Monterrey. Fully recommend this tour to anyone.

DO NOT PASS UP ON THIS!!!!!!

Fun time with Polo. We learned a bit about climbing. And that water is the sharpest knife. geologists will be impressed, and nature lovers are of course stunned by the beauty here. Very personable experience with conversation ranging all over the map - from vitiligo to petrochemicals to Latin rock. Highly recommended.

Amazing

Really beautiful scenery. Polo was really friendly and informative! The pick up and drop offs were on schedule. The hike was amazing and learnt a lot of new things about the canyon. The tour is a def must if you’re visiting Monterrey

Must do when visiting Monterrey

Toby_S, Nov 2022

We had a fantastic day with Polo. He was extremely knowledgeable about the park as well as the city of Monterrey. He allowed us to go at our own pace and was an excellent driver. When we return we will definitely be using him again. Can’t say enough great things.

Absolutely fantastic!

Was an amazing trip. Polo was very knowledgeable and polite. Would definitely do it again on my next trip back.

An unforgettable canyon experience!

Shondel_N, Jun 2022

Polo, our guide, is smart, knowledgeable, and fully bilingual. He is a trained rock climber, so he really explained the history and geography of the canyon, and how people climb it. He was a lot of fun and recommended great restaurants to us. He gets an A+ as a guide!

Excellent Tour

Ram_B, Mar 2022

Excellent guide with extensive knowledge of the canyon. Masterful driver in challenging 4 wheel drive conditions. Short diversion from the city of Monterrey.

A most enjoyable day

Jacqueline_D, Dec 2021

A most enjoyable day!!! Exploring La Huasteca Canyon was both gratifying and fascinating. The views are breath-taking and the walk gave us a welcomed light workout. Experiencing nature with Polo Barrán as our guide, helped us understand the area. He pointed out and explained the different sites, drawing from his knowledge as a rock climber himself. Always aware of his group, he made sure we were safe and comfortable. He was well prepared with water, energy drinks, snacks and even masks. And took some great pictures for us. Back in the city, at Polo’s suggestion, we had lunch at an authentic Monterrey Taquería (delicious!!!) and indulged in some traditional Mexican sweets at a beautiful dulcería. We continued with the site seeing at la Bandera, the Mercado Juárez, the Basílica del Roble(spectacular!!!), the old barrio and rounded the day with a drink at modern bar. The whole time, Polo gave interesting details on every location and we exchanged some lively conversations. All in all, a perfect day!!!

Recomendado 100%

Sulamita_M, Sep 2023

Excelente todo! El paseo fue muy bonito, realmente el lugar es muy grande por lo que vale la pena hacer el tour para poder ir a los lugares específicos. La persona muy amable, nos encantó!

Toller und sehr informativer Ausflug

AnkeClaudia_W, Nov 2019

Ich wurde pünktlich von Polo am Hotel abgeholt und direkt mit einem Kaffee empfangen. Der Ausflug war wirklich toll. Beeindruckender Canyan in der Nähe von Monterrey. Wir waren insgesamt nur zu zweit. Polo ist wirklich super nett und er hat viel erklärt, so dass wir viele Informationen auch über Monterrey erhalten haben.
