Nuevo León is a landlocked state in northeastern Mexico bordering Texas, anchored by the industrial powerhouse of Monterrey beneath the dramatic saddle-shaped peak of Cerro de la Silla. It pairs a modern, cosmopolitan capital known for craft breweries, world-class museums, and rooftop dining with the pine-forested Sierra Madre Oriental, home to waterfalls, canyons, and the Pueblo Mágico of Santiago.
