How to Get to La Huasteca
La Huasteca is located in the city of Santa Catarina. To get there you will have to drive through the city of Monterrey (some huevos required). The map shows you an alternative approach from the north, but do not attempt this during the middle of the day - there is way too much truck traffic. To get through Monterrey without getting lost, proceed as follows. Take Hwy 53 into town. Follow Av. Universidad south, then veer right toward Av. M. Barragan (signs toward downtown). Near the University Campus, follow signs toward Av. Gonzalitos. This wide avenue will take you south past downtown Monterrey and over the Rio Santa Catarina. Immediately after the river go west on Av. I. Morones Prieto. This multi-lane street will take you directly into the Huasteca canyon. A kiosk sits at the entrance to the canyon, pay 11 pesos here for entry. Use the detail map to find the individual areas within the canyon. Las Cazuelas will be on your left almost immediately upon entering the park.
