Cerro del Chupón is a must-visit for hikers in Monterrey, providing a manageable yet rewarding ascent of approximately 400 meters. The trail spans about 4 kilometers round-trip and is well-regarded for its accessibility, typically taking around an hour to reach the summit. Once at the top, visitors are treated to sweeping vistas of the city skyline, Cerro de la Silla, and the Cumbres Monterrey range. It is a favored spot for early morning treks to catch the sunrise and escape the midday heat. While the main path is generally easy to follow, hikers should be aware that neighbors have closed some secondary trails. Using a navigation app is recommended to stay on the correct route, especially during pre-dawn starts.
