La Huasteca, Climbing area and municipal park in Santa Catarina, Mexico

La Huasteca is a municipal park and climbing area in Santa Catarina, Nuevo León, within the Cumbres de Monterrey National Park. The Santa Catarina River has cut a canyon through limestone of Late Jurassic origin, with walls reaching over 550 meters. The park covers about 200 hectares and contains nearly 400 bolted climbing routes.

Cumbres de Monterrey National Park, which includes La Huasteca, was created by President Lázaro Cárdenas in November 1939. In 1954 Federico Ramírez García, "Lico", made the first recorded ascent of the canyon's summit, now called Pico Lico. The Pirineos club climbed the best-known peak in 1957, giving Los Pirineos its name, and sport climbing arrived in the late 1980s with the Medina brothers. UNESCO declared the park a biosphere reserve in October 2006.

The name comes from the Huasteca Region, and the canyon's peaks carry climbers' names: Pico Lico honours Federico Ramírez García, who made the first summit in 1954, and Los Pirineos recalls the Pirineos club that climbed there in 1957. In 2014 the at-risk youth programme Escalando Fronteras worked with volunteers to develop the park for visitors and ecotourism.

The main entrance is located at Morones Prieto 327 with parking areas, rest zones, and equipment rental available. Wear sturdy footwear and bring plenty of water, as sun exposure in the canyon can be intense.

The canyon's limestone dates to the Late Jurassic, about 161 million years ago, while the mountain itself rose during the Laramide orogeny 40 to 20 million years ago. The park holds nearly 400 bolted routes graded 5.4 to 5.14, and most climbing areas charge no entrance fee.
