moderateNuevo Leon 20: a memorable road trip
🇲🇽 Mexico
Cruising through the state of Nuevo León in Mexico? You absolutely HAVE to experience Route 20! This road hugs the San Isidro canyon within the Cumbres de Monterrey National Park. The entire route is paved, but keep an eye out for potential flooding, especially during the rainy season. The first leg takes you up to 2,200 meters. This 15.2 km stretch offers insane views of the San Isidro Canyon – a taste of what’s to come! Heads up: there’s one seriously tight 180° hairpin turn with a 20° incline. Take it slow, or you might find yourself sliding off the road! Next up, the San Isidro Canyon section. This is where things get truly epic. For 5.2 km, you'll wind through the canyon, with massive 700-800 meter rock walls towering on either side. Seriously, photos don't do it justice! Just be aware that the river runs close to the road, and heavy rains can cause flash floods, mudslides, and rockfalls. Finally, you'll hit a 7.9 km tropical mountain road with lush greenery. This part is packed with tight curves and hairpin turns. Tourist traffic can be heavy because it connects to the Cola de Caballo waterfall, so stay sharp. The road climbs from 480 meters in Villa de Santiago to 1,550 meters in the mountains. This section is extremely steep with tons of curves, so use your engine to brake effectively!
