VENUES

Museum of Mexican History

Located near Monterrey’s founding site and inaugurated on November 30, 1994, the Museum of Mexican History is the most important historical exhibition in northern Mexico. It houses over 1,200 artifacts across a 15,000-square-meter space, illustrating various aspects of life in Mexico from the pre-Hispanic era to the 20th century. The collection ranges from small everyday objects used by ancient inhabitants to real locomotives. The museum also features a temporary exhibition hall, a library-video archive, and an auditorium.

Casona de Santa Lucía

Built in 1871 in the Las Tenerias neighborhood, this historic house served as General Francisco Villa's headquarters during the Mexican Revolution. During that time, opponents of the armed movement were executed here. Today, it is recognized as a National Monument.

Casino de Monterrey

More than a century after its founding, Casino Monterrey remains a highly valued symbol for the people of Monterrey, preserving the prestige and traditions that define it. Its members are distinguished by their extensive knowledge in various fields, including culture, arts, and gastronomy.

Contemporary Art Museum (MARCO)

Designed by architect Ricardo Legorreta and inaugurated on June 28, 1991, the museum features La Paloma, a sculpture by Juan Soriano, at its entrance. It showcases over 100 pieces of contemporary art.

Located in the municipality of Santiago, a Pueblo Mágico, this stunning waterfall features crystal-clear waters cascading naturally from a height of 26 meters, originating from the Sierra Madre Oriental. Its name, meaning "Horse’s Tail," comes from its resemblance to the flowing tail of a horse.

In this serene natural setting, visitors can enjoy the soothing sounds of flowing water and birdsong. The hike to the waterfall is approximately 500 meters, featuring stairways and scenic viewpoints that offer different angles for breathtaking views and memorable photos.
