Nuevo León
An adventure destination with dazzling mountains, a distinctive cuisine, and a cosmopolitan capital
The sprawling northeastern state of Nuevo León, which borders Laredo, Texas, is draped in dazzling rocky mountain peaks and miles of desert making it a destination for adventure sports like rock climbing and rappelling. Neslted in a valley of the Sierra Madre Oriental mountain range is the state’s capital, Monterrey, the second-largest metropolitan area in Mexico and an important entrepreneurial and industrial hub. Defined by its sparse ingredients, proximity to the US, and influences from Sephardic Jewish culinary roots, the flavors here are truly distinctive.
