El Parque Chipinque

So, this weekend we decided it was time to venture into Beverly Hills, oops, I mean San Pedro (this charming, exquisite, and richest neighborhood in Mexico), to traverse the mountain trails in “el Parque Chipinque.”


The park requires permits approved in advance in order to climb the surrounding summits, so we decided to take the prudent course, and hike the little 2km trails to a little mini-summit. The hike was awesome! It was difficult at times, but a great introduction into the mountainous trails surrounding Monterrey! Filled with breathtaking views of the city, majestic mountain vistas, and even a small selection of wildlife, the hike was fabulous!






At the top, we were even treated to swings and a giant slide – that I just HAD to go down! Of course, after our killer workout, we went to Chile’s where we then proceeded to indulge in margaritas and brownies, followed by a night on the town at the posh V-bar in San Pedro… so I’m thinking all of these calories counteracted our nice workout earlier in the day…
