Cañón La Huasteca, Natural canyon in Nuevo León, Mexico.

Limestone rock formations rise along the canyon walls, reaching heights of 726 meters within the boundaries of Parque La Huasteca municipal reserve.

Federico Ramírez García completed the first documented climbing expedition to the canyon summit in 1954, leading to the naming of Pico Lico peak.

Local climbing communities have established nearly 400 different routes throughout the canyon, creating a significant outdoor recreation destination in northern Mexico.

The canyon entrance sits 20 minutes from Monterrey city center, offering free access to most climbing areas and marked hiking trails.

Hurricane Alex altered the canyon landscape in 2010, reshaping several climbing routes and creating new geological formations within the park boundaries.
