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…”

We visited the lovely horsetail waterfall and nearby observation deck, and then made our way to the "magical town" Santiago for a bit of a wander and lunch at La Postreria 77 (lunch not included, but affordable and delicious!). Alex was a wonderful guide; knowledgeable, patient, friendly, and interesting! And the sights were lovely - now we'll just have to come back to do the caves!”
