About the City of Monterrey

Monterrey

Nestled in the foothills of the Sierra Madre Mountains, in 1,800 – foot high valley, the city of Monterrey was officially founded in 1596 when Don Diego de Montemayor arrived with twelve families and settled in the valley which is dominated by a 5,700-foot double-peaked peak named Cerro de la Silla (Saddle Hill) which is the most famous trademark of Monterrey and can be seen from many parts of the city.

Monterrey is close to the United States both in distance and latitude. Its strategic location – 145 miles south of the Texas border – puts it nearer to the United States than to Mexico City. Monterrey is the capital of Nuevo Leon, a Mexican state that shares its northern border with Texas. The climate during summer fluctuates between 30o and 40o C and a few times in winter may drop to 0o C.

Today Monterrey is named the Industrial Capital of Mexico. Four and one-half million people reside in this city, a metropolitan area that covers 950 square miles. One of the most prosperous areas of Monterrey is the municipality of San Pedro Garza García, in which Colegio Inglés is located. This area is considered an example in the country because of its safety.

Monterrey’s business pulse beats strong and steady. Second only to Mexico City in the number of business travelers who arrive every year, it is home to some of the country’s largest corporations, and those companies which are not headquartered here often have satellite offices in the city. This is the hometown of conglomerates such as Cemex (cement), Vitro (glass) Cydsa (chemicals), Protexa (offshore drilling platforms), Imsa (steel) and Cervecería Cuauhtemoc (brewery). Monterrey is also famous for the prestige of its universities like ITESM and UDEM.

Monterrey is unique for its combination of industry, tradition, and natural landscapes. It also offers a wide range of museums, shops, sports facilities, historical monuments, theaters, cinemas, and restaurants.

Monterrey is considered the land of progress, history, and tradition. We offer a variety of attractions and natural beauty set within the grandeur of our signature mountains. The state of Nuevo Leon is a palate of different landscapes, delicious gastronomy, top-notch tourist services, culture, and cosmopolitan architecture as well as places where tourists and visitors of all ages can enjoy themselves.
