A day trip south from Monterrey to the pecan- and citrus-growing region around Montemorelos, combining an orchard visit and tasting with a sit-down regional lunch.
A Nuevo León day-trip tour operator runs this six-hour excursion from Monterrey to Montemorelos, the pecan- and citrus-growing region roughly an hour south of the city in Nuevo León. The day begins with round-trip transportation from Monterrey to central Montemorelos, followed by a visit to a working orchard where participants see pecan and citrus cultivation firsthand and sample fresh pecans and seasonal citrus straight from the source. The excursion concludes with a sit-down regional lunch featuring dishes built around local produce, balancing the orchard's savory-leaning tasting with a full savory lunch course; a dessert component built around pecans is common but not guaranteed on every departure. The price includes round-trip transportation, the orchard visit and tasting, and the regional lunch; it does not include additional food or drink purchases at the orchard or in Montemorelos, nor gratuity for the driver and guide. Groups travel together by van or minibus, with commentary offered in English and Spanish during the drive and orchard visit. Because lunch is served at a set restaurant, dietary substitutions such as vegetarian options can often be arranged with advance notice at booking.
