What's your favorite thing to do/see/eat in Monterrey? Let us know!
Tacos de sonora en El céntrito de SP y las nieves de Tocumbo.
I just returned from Monterrey a week ago! I loved it but did go during summer and would like to go in milder weather. I'm jealous of that place as I stayed in a hostel! I did the riverboat thing and so wanted to do a hike!
I am from Monterrey. If you like extreme deports I recommend a tour named Matacanes... look in youtube about it. I Did it 3 years ago, is tough but worth it a lot.
Hello 👋 guys you only stayed in the downtown area Monterrey is much bigger than Guadalajara, you guys didn't even go to San Pedro Garza García or Santiago it's much more than what they saw. 😅
@@fabianmasterofbeauty3822 I am looking at an AirBnB in San Pedro. Where do you recommend I stay for 2 weeks?
Monterrey is an underrated city in Mexico, I feel that most people just want to travel to the beach or to the centre or south of the country. Glad you guys are breaking that trend !
❤️❤️❤️
Work, Work, Work. That is how you can define Monterrey. A city where people migrates to work, and where its citizens are proud of their heritage and culture. Not the typical tourist destination in Mexico
So excited to see that ya'll are in Monterrey. My husband and I live in San Antonio, TX but travel there every couple of months to see friends and family. Soon we will start a remodel of our Monterrey house. We have traveled Mexico extensively but Monterrey makes sense to us as a future home base. The culture is one that reveals it depth over time. A hard working city that is all about friends, family and food on the weekends.
That’s so wonderful!
I like that AirBnB. Love the set up and structure. And the view
Hi Cafeiños!
The animal that you encountered while hiking is called a coati (tejón in Spanish). Love the vid… keep it up!
Be safe and stay healthy… hasta luego!
Ahhh gracias!
O possums have rat like tails and are ugly. Coatis are known as Mexican raccoons in the resorts of the Riveria Maya
Also you both look very stylish on your hike !
With a K....
@@heavenandearth5638 Awwww. I love opossums! People don't like their tails, but they are very sweet and useful animals.
This has been bothering me ever since I watched the video. It clearly wasn't an opossum and I just looked it up. Yes! It is also known as a coatimundi. So cute!
Monterrey and it's metropolitan área is the second largas and second most populated city of mexico
😂😂😂 everyone in Monterrey would’ve been like ‘why are those guys outside??? It’s Monday!!!
haha apparently!
Hi guys. You've went to other side of the country. That's cool because it will allow you to get glimpse about how life in the Northern Mexico is. Many people, me included, have the opinion that Mexico is a collection of several countries within the same territory. Life if Northern Mexico is very different to life in the Yucatan peninsula. If museums is your thing, I would recommend checking out two awesome museums located very close to the Paseo Santa Lucía : the Museum of the North East and the Mexican History Museum. As you mentioned, MTY is not a tourist city nor a cultural center of relevance, so you may want the 2 pueblos mágicos not far from MTY: Linares and Santiago. Wish you good luck. Hugs
Thanks so much for the kind words! And yes - we definitely want to check out those museums and pueblos!
The cute furry little animal is a Coati, the long name is Coatimundi. Glad you have the drone, you fly it well, I would have worried about those towers and lines. Thanks for the video. ☕️ ☕️☕️☕️☕️
I actually stayed at this AirBnB, and I’m actually on the bean bag chair in the room right now. What a great location, my girlfriend loved it!
Beautiful souls....thanks for the trip to Monterey! Safe journeys home....xx
❤️❤️❤️
Very cool. Monterrey was not high on my Mexican discovery list but thanks to you guys I definitely want to go and visit. Thanks for another great video.
What a hike! Thank you for going to all that work for us 😄 Some stunning views from way up there. A very enjoyable video. You two are adorable even when you’re exhausted and sweaty! Love you guys ❤️
Haha thanks Maria!!
I am dying at this entire "possum" thing. It is so endearing for some reason.
Haha we’re just glad we didn’t get attacked 😬
What a hike! And cool tour of the art museum. This is one of my fav vids you have done.
Aw thanks!
Monterrey is really different to other cities in Mexico, isn’t a typical Mexican tourist city, it doesn’t have a lot of colonial or historical architecture; I think this city is for the people who like modernity because this is what Monterrey is about. For me, Monterrey is the most modern city in Mexico, and specially San Pedro Garza García which is in Monterrey metropolitan area. I think it will be interesting to visit that part of the city, Sn Pedro is the most secure and most wealthiest city in Latin America; so walking to the streets of it you will see Ferraris and Porsches like a normal thing, it’s known that all of the millionaires of Mexico live there or at least have a house there; also in the malls you will see all of the luxury boutiques you can imagine. San Pedro is surrounded by mountains and high buildings and that makes is really beautiful. There’s a little park that I love visiting called “Parque El Granate” close to Chipinque mountain, the views you get from there are incredible and that park is in one of the richest neighborhoods of the city so you will be surrounded by big mansions. In San Pedro you can walk through the “Calzada Del Valle” avenue and walk through the streets near there; outside of the “centro” de San Pedro you will need a car to travel, so take that in mind. I loved your video!
LOVE that place!! Decorated so great!
Right?! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you guys for showing us your amazing videos! I can't wait to move to Merida!💙
Looks like an absolutely stunning city, the architecture looks so cool! Great vlog guys, just found your channel and look forward to seeing more of your adventures! 😊
Thanks guys!
I'm in Monterrey right now, thank you for this content!
Coatimundi, is what they are!! Very common in South America,,,, I like how real and casual you are! Thanks for sharing!!
Wonderful video! Can't wait to get out butts back to Mexico!
Enjoy how you present each city, it's beautiful to see how you document each travel visit.
Thanks so much!
Have to like this allready, cause the video is almost 30min.long 😍
Spoiling us in in the New Year!
Welcome to Monterrey!! 🤠
Here are a few facts about this city:
1: Yes, indeed, people from Monterrey we speak or at least have a little known of english, because we like to go shopping in Texas or other american cities. 🇺🇸❤️
2: Definetly Monterrey is a urban city 100%, it doesn't have colonial architecture, beaches or at least archeologic prehispanic ruins, but here are many of the great corporatives or industries of Mexico such as Coca-Cola FEMSA (OXXO), Vitro, Alfa, CEMEX, Cervecería Cuauhtémoc (Beer company), Gamesa and etc.
3: Monterrey by now is the 2nd most important city in Mexico, the 2nd most populated, and the richest city in the whole country.
I hope you have a great experience here, Monterrey is your house too. ❤️
Well, those critters are cuter than mountain lions.
Thanks for the great drone footage.😉
Monterrey is close to San Antonio, Tx. - maybe I should consider a road trip?
I'm not a hiker but so appreciate that you are. It's cute that you hike, wherever you travel, to honor each other. 💕
❤️❤️❤️
Flying out of sa is best as it only takes an hour! I flew out with vivoaerobus and I had no issues although I see they get bad reviews online idk why.
If u wanna really see the wealthyness of Monterrey (really had seen nothing yet) head to the Area of San Pedro Garza Garcìa which is the richest part of Monterrey, (Most parts of Monterrey are descent, and others rich but hear me out this is next level) where the millionaires and billionaires in Monterrey live, San Pedro Garza Garcìa is the richest are in al latin america competingfirectly with the US in some aspects. The area is know for its impresive and beautiful skyline with a ton of luxury buildings, malls, giant mansions, golf clubs and the views of yhe mountains making it stunning to see!!!! and everyone almost everyone drives 100k+ dollar vehicles, yeah San Pedro Garza Garcìa is a complete different world compared to other parts of Monterrey, but is still Monterrey and hojestly im really proud of it!!!, personally i had lived in San Pedro and call me crazy but honestly it feels like ur in a complete different country! Im from Monterrey so if u wanna hear more i will be more than happy to answer any possible questions you may have :D!!!!
Hi guys! Only 5:20 in, and wow! Great filming. And then the drone…. OMG! Holy sh#t! Amazing. This takes your already great filming to a While New Level, no pun! Thanks so much for sharing and taking us along on another adventure! “Let’s Go!!”
Go to San Pedro the richest city in Latin America and to Chipinque mountain which is nearby. Also take carretera nacional road and visit some pueblos magicos like Villa de Santiago and Allende. Other option in different direction is to go to Grutas de Garcia (Garcia Caves). Have a nice trip.
Monterrey is the second most populated city in Mexico 🙂
Not according to Google 😬
@@TravelWTravis you don't get it. Monterrey city is the whole metropolitan area.
Welcome to my hometown.Monterrey metro area is the second largest metro area in Mexico with over 5 million people. Just behind Mexico City.
@@dancingwithnacos Ok!
@@TravelWTravis yes guys .. until 2020 census Guadalajara was the second most populated but that year change, Monterrey pass Guadalajara for almost two hundred thoussand
¡Guys! That wasn't an opossum, that was a coatí.
Haha now we know! Thanks!
Monterrey has the richest cities in all of Latin America, Monterrey as the capital, San Pedro the richest city and with the best quality of life in Latin America, San Nicolas de los Garza, has the best police in Latin America, has the tallest buildings in All of Latin America and soon a megatall of more than 500 meters that will be the 3rd largest in the entire continent, it has the best universities in all of Latin America, it has the least poverty in all of Latin America and it is going down more and more, it has the longest and most expensive artificial river In all of Latin America, in fact, it is the only one, it has the best salaries in almost all of Mexico, only below CDMX, I don't need time to decide Monterrey is on the rise for a long time and is the best city.
My god what a lot of incorrect facts in one comment. 1) Monterrey is a city, a city can't have cites within it. So San pedro is a suburb/municipality independent of Monterrey.
2)Police, the police force of CDMX is largest police force in Mexico. Please explain how another municipality has the best police in Latin America. By the way the safest city in Mexico is Merida Yucatan. Merida is actually 2nd safest city in North America not Latin America.
3) Out of the top ten universities in Mexico only 2 universities are in Monterrey and the best university is in Brazil so I don't know where you got what you wrote.
4) The building or project that you're talking about is Torre Rise and when completed will stand 456 meters and no more 500 meters as you stated.
5) If Monterrey has the lowest poverty in Latin America why you see more people asking for money in the streets in Monterrey than in Merida or Queretaro?
6) As for salaries, Queretaro, Guanajuato, Aguascalientes have high salaries too due to their car and plane parts manufactures and other tech industries but of course CDMX's salaries are the highest in Mexico.
7) Monterrey is not on the rise. Monterrey, in fact the entire state of Nuevo Leon doesn't have money for new public projects. The state government has a lot of debt. In 2020, Monterrey's economy contracted 9.1% when on average the Mexican economy contracted 8.1%. In addition Monterrey has security problems you can see it in the news carjacking, people being shot and violent football fans.
Awesome video! I am in Monterrey today and I have a goal to hike. Your video gave me a big push to go out and explore! I’m staying right in front of them at Crown. I also subscribed 😉
Oh wonderful - have fun on your hike!!
I love your channel. Being in an interracial relationship myself it's wonderful to see the love and chemistry between the two of you! 🌈❤️🌈
❤️❤️❤️
Excellent video! Monterrey is on my list. Thanks for giving a great overview of the city! I never ran into you guys when I lived in Merida. I’m in Playa now. I thought🤷🏽♀️ I had already subscribed since I’ve watched other videos, but I just subscribed. Thanks bringing good videos!
Aw thanks so much! And hopefully we'll run into you one day!!
Really great video guys
Thanks so much!
Lol everything looks good but a little lonely because all the tourists think Mexico is just Cancun and nobody try to go to other places. Basically Monterrey is a city with locals going to work and school but there aren't visitors. We have a lot of mountains, rivers, lakes, cabins and many places to see.
jajajajaaj you guys always make me laugh.....nice drone video!!!
Thanks Sarah!
I enjoyed this very much. Thank y'all!
Thanks Aja!!
You two are such a great couple! You both make me laugh so much
Haha we’re so glad! ❤️❤️❤️
Bienvenidos a mi rancho, que disfruten su estancia.
¡muchas gracias por mirar!
Wow! 👌🏾❤️👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽that was so awesome. You both should feel very proud of your jello and biscuits. You put in WORK. Those vista views were 👀
Haha thanks!!
@@TravelWTravis Thank YOU!
Love your content, love the vibe!!! Café con leche is a great name for your channel. 🙌🏼
❤️❤️❤️
Dang, that hike was something. We appreciate you getting jello legs for us so we don't have to, lol. Love the green spaces in that city!
Good video! And yes, due to the fact, That Monterrey is so close to texas, Monterrey is like a typical US city, it’s not that walkable, if you want to have fun, you need a car to get to places like Cola de Caballo, las grutas de García or Chipinque. Also the sports culture in Monterrey is the best in all of Mexico as they have the best soccer fans, and home 2 different teams. Tigres and Monterrey, (Tigres is the best). Also, you should check out next time, other than las Grutas de García and cola de caballo, you need to go to El Potrero Chico in Hidalgo, Nuevo León, like 45 min outside the city, and San Pedro Garza García where all the real rich stuff is out, it’s honestly another world in San Pedro. But yes, next time you go, I recommend to rent a car! Or pay Uber!! Other than that good video! But final thought, I believe Monterrey is the 3rd largest city behind Guadalajara and Mexico City.
This is a fantastic video. Thanks for creating it! One location you missed is San Pedro Garza García. It’s beautiful and vibrant everyday. Highly recommend.
Ah thanks for the tip!!
The cute critter is a coati or coati mundi. I used to see them near the beach in Playa del Carmen. Happy new year, you two!
Haha well now we know! Thanks so much and happy 2021 to you, too!
Go to Chipinque! Another mountain next to the city with great views. Beware of bears 🐻!!
Beaaaars?! 😬😂😬
@@TravelWTravis Osos !
Si visitan MTY tengan cuidado en verano ya que la temperatura llega >40° C, saludos desde el área noreste de Méx
Its really the adjoining city of San Pedro Garza Garcia that is the rich area...basically monterey proper is like many other cities but once you cross into San Pedro is a concentration of some of Mexicos richest people
Great video guys! Why to wok the new Drone👍
Thanks Damon!
I can't believe the work that someone put into that trail.
Right?!
I friggin love you two. Thanks for sharing your life with us
11:11 Monterrey is best known as "The Sultan of the North" or "The City of the Mountains"
Love your Spanish!!!
Watching from Monterey, California !
ahaha amazing!
Loved the hiking vid. Mire hiking vids!!
(Guessing there aren't many mountain hikes in Mérida).
Starting to cross Mérida off the list (heat, love mountains and hikes, love the GDL restaurants.
Great content - thank you guys!! Your editing is nice, am finding myself comparing.
Haha yes! We hike every chance we get (which isn’t too often in the Yucatán!) Thanks so much for watching!
You'll are too cute. Great video I'm hoping to move to Monterrey soon
I’m surprised you didn’t go to San Pedro Garza Garcia ? It’s a beautiful suburb in Monterrey
Next time!
Feeling it in my biscuits. HAha
😂🤣😂
Parque ecológico la huasteca you missed this treasure of us!
Nice video! Try Chipinque next time it's soooo beautiful! Just be aware of bears.
That wasn’t a possum or opossum it was a coati. They’re awesome!
Haha now we know!
@@TravelWTravis we first saw one in Manzanillo and the kid’s called it a crotch sniffer (no need to explain why) so for years we forgot the real name and only called them crotch sniffer! Then while in Costa Rica, a whole pack of them raided our ice chest while we were soaking in a thermal spring! But they’re cute!
@@defenestration_official 😂🤣😂
I love your content
I have been following you guys since you moved from the US during the pandemic
El cerro de la silla es el más sencillo y menos espectacular para subir hubieran pedido guía para conocer la ciudad
Like video...the panoramic view of the city was awesome. Are you still in Monterrey or you have returned home...
19:00 COATI a raccoon-like animal found mainly in Central and South America, with a long flexible snout and a ringed tail.
Monterrey definitely looks more modernized than the rest of the country. I’ve been to Tijuana plenty of times in the past year. Next time I might try Monterrey depending on my interests.
My name is roberto and I'm a huge fan of your channel, keep doing your job guys amazing work.
Thanks so much Roberto!!
Great video guys !!!..Go to CHIPINQUE PARK , Take a Walk in CALZADA DEL VALLE, a beautiful zone with amazing landscape, restaurants, cafes, bars and galleries, Go to LA HUASTECA NATIONAL PARK, its Awesome !!!..the best Restaurants in the city, PANGEA in Arboleda Zone, CUERNO CALZADA in Calzada del Valle, EL GRAN PASTOR in San Jeronimo zone.
I really hope you guys went to Casa Macro. It was our favorite restaurant in Monterrey. The vegan food wasn't great in Monterrey, but THAT restaurant was awesome. I wished I could take it with me. :)
Um we haven’t yet but we are googling it RIGHT NOW! (We have been struggling for good eats here so THANK YOU!!)
Monterrey gives me Atlanta vibes kinda
True!
Monterrey is nice, thanks. But what about that time you met me outside the Frida Khalo museum? JK JK
Haha doesn’t compare!
So jealous! I've been in México for four months now and have yet to spot a coati.
I wanna visit this city
You're welcome, my friend. Monterrey is your house too. 🤠💙
@@JorgeSchz2004 looks great 💜💜
You guys are so adorable! We are in Merida now. It's great!...but Fitorade is a Fking game changer. I don't know how I'm going to live without it when we leave. Not having to make dinner every night has given me hours back, and it's delicious and so healthy. Why doesn't every city have this?! Haha!
Haha RIGHT?! So glad you’re loving them as much as we do! Truly life-changing!
3:38 Correction: Monterrey is the Third largest city by population, not the 9th one.
And the 2nd City most important of all Mexico by its economical power.
Possum? 😂🤣😂Opossum? 🤣😂🤣
Actually, I think those may have been "coatimundi", or simply "coati".
(Someone correct me if I am wrong.)
They are a cousin to the raccoon and are common in more arid areas of northern México, south Texas, AZ & NM.
They aren't particularly aggressive, but those living along the trail probably get a lot of food from their frequent human interactions. They were likely looking for a handout and/or they smelled those sammiches Travis made!
Another fun "CcL" video!
Keep 'em coming!
😎👍
¡HASTA LLUEGO!
.
haha now we know!
David didn’t fall asleep😂. Oh he did !
Oh he definitely did!
The Richest City in México is México City and then Monterrey
The drive into the city is scenic from Nuevo Laredo. Cross the border from Laredo, Tx into Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas. Dont forget to stop at the Aduanal Building for your vehicle "TURISTA" windsheild sticker. Fill your tank with gas at the Pemex located in Sabinas Hidalgo. Stop at the Restaurante Don Luis while there. Order the Machacado con huevo (dried beef mixed with scrambled eggs), tocino (bacon), cafe (coffee), and for desert something like a pan dulce (sweet bread) to go with your cafe. While in Sabinas, you may wish to visit El Ojo de Agua (Waters Eye) Park, located on the road from Sabinas to Villaldama. Villaldama is known for delicious pan dulce (sweet bread).
Follow Carreterra Nacional (National Highway) to Monterrey. Have a fun vacation.
That little animal up there Is a coati, I don't know the english name, other good hike there Is Chipinque a beautiful forest 5 min to the city, MTY is not a very touristy place but have some very nice places.
Ah thanks for the tip!
@@TravelWTravis oh oh! and other place Is called Huasteca and Garcia grutes near by, love you beautiful couple.
You two are so cute together!
🥰😘🥰
Visit the Huasteca its so cool
We want to!
Fundadora is pretty in the day, for bikes and stuff but really pretty at night, with the light show, also, dont use the boat, walk on the side walk, its really nice to walk that distance, barrio antiguo also better at night and weekends, you van go to the presa, los cavazos which is a biiiiiig mercado, las grutas de garcia is a other very beautiful place , chipinque, beware or bears, they are small black bears but still, so careful about bringing food to the mountain, the waterfalls hike is great cuz you can get in the water, but with this weather, not what I would do, probably there are not many people out because covid cases are biiiig these days, also, this City is not made for walking, so you have to take ubers and buses to move around, people enjoy Carnes asadas here a lot, there are many vegan restaurants also, if yiu want a guide let me know;) I live in San Pedro
Thanks for all this Carolina!!
I want to do that hike
The largest plaza in the World is in Moscow, the second one is in Mexico City. ❤
Excelente video ..bienvenidos a la ciudad más prospera del país...saludos!!!
Pero por qué hay mucho inmigrante en Estados Unidos de Monterrey, hay muchos aquí que Les cuesta salir adelante
My home town, Monterrey metro is the third largest city after Mexico City and Guadalajara
Oh wonderful! We got our info from Google, so it must not be including the metro area? But thanks for watching!
There is a healthy population of black bear all around the mountain ranges in Monterrey. Lucky you did not run into any. Next time experience also the other museums in and around Parque Fundidora and Macro Plaza. Chipinque m is a good hike with a hotel/ restaurant at the top. Lots of musical festivals also in parque fundidora. Restaurants and shopping are also a great option. Grutas de García, El Obispado to have a great view of the city. Plenty of things to do.
Wonderful - thanks so much for the tips!!
Very true Jaime. Coyote, vibora de cascabel, tarantulas, liebres too. Lots of natural wildlife beauty in the countryside and mountains. Thanks for reminding about the osos.
I was literally SHOCKED to see a Coati in Monterrey….but even MORE shocked that you guys didn’t know the difference between a possum and a Coati, considering you live in the jungles of the Yucatán Peninsula where it is crawling with Coatis!
😬🤦♂️🤣
Next time you can visit the stadiums BBVA, el volcán and el palacio sultán.
Would you guys visit Monterrey again or live there? Every video I’ve watch of Monterrey, showed a very quiet place. No one walking the street. Really no life. If there is life, I wish I could find one video on YT.
haha probably not - we're glad we came and experienced it! There were lots of people on the riverwalk on Sunday when we got here - we just didn't film it!
This is an old comment but yes there is life, just not on the streets, being a car-based city... and specially not in the middle of the day when people are at work...
There is a lot of nightlife, starting on wednesdays and throughout the weekend. Tons and tons of cafes, restaurants, bars and clubs.
Don't really recommend living here, there's definitely better places to live in, but if you're making tons of money you can live very, very well in MTY.
I wonder if they have good Tex Mex food there, like burritos and such.
Los burritos son originarios del Norte de México, específicamente de Chihuahua y en todo el Norte de México venden burritos
Guys I am planning to visit Mexico merida in 2022. Any suggestions of where I should stay first?
Definitely down in Centro!
Oh dear
What’s your favorite town or city thus far in Mexico?
I know this video was from a while back but I'm looking at another airbnb that I think is in the same building. I'll be traveling alone. How safe is the area walking to/from the condo? Safe to walk home at night?
Sorry just seeing this comment but yes, super safe!
