Monterrey is the capital city of the Mexican state of Nuevo León. The city of Monterrey is located in northeastern Mexico, in the state of Nuevo León; it has about 1.1 million inhabitants, although the Greater Monterrey metropolitan area (composed of the municipios) of San Pedro Garza García, San Nicolás de los Garza, Apodaca, Guadalupe, Escobedo, Santa Catarina, Garcia, Juarez, Santiago, Ciénega de Flores, Salinas Victoria and Pesqueria) add another 2.5 million (total 2006 pop. est: 3.6 million) distributed on 572.8 km² making Monterrey`s metropolitan area the third most populous in Mexico but the second largest and most important urban area after the capital.

The Santa Catarina river bisects the city. Although this river is dry for most of the year, it flows after occasional heavy rains.

Monterrey, also known as La Ciudad de las Montañas (City of the Mountains), has the second highest GDP per capita in Latin America, next to Mexico City. It lays at the foothill of the Sierra Madre Oriental mountain range, which seems to come to an abrupt start south of the city, i.e. the famous peak La Eme (the M) in San Pedro Garza García.

The mountains around Monterrey harbor an almost endless number of canyons, trails and roads, crossing deserts and forests. These trails vary in their difficulty from supereasy to those for the expert rockclimber only.

Monterrey is a major industrial center among cities in Mexico, second only to the nation`s capital. As a result of its strong steel industry, it is often called the Pittsburgh of Mexico. The city has prominent positions in sectors such as steel, cement, glass, auto parts, and beer. In 1999 Fortune magazine voted Monterrey as the best city in Latin America in which to do business. The magazine attributes its economic wealth in part to its proximity with the United States-Mexican border and mentions Monterrey as a significant city with economic links to the United States.
