Cerro de la Silla, Natural monument summit in Monterrey, Mexico.
Cerro de la Silla rises 1,820 meters above sea level with four distinct peaks: Pico Norte, Pico Antena, Pico Sur, and Pico la Virgen.
The mountain received natural monument status from the Mexican government in 1991, protecting its geological formations and surrounding ecosystem for future generations.
The mountain shape resembling a saddle serves as a central symbol of Monterrey, appearing in local art, photography, and regional identity expressions.
The main hiking trail extends 5.3 kilometers to the summit, requiring approximately three hours to complete with proper hiking equipment and water supplies.
An aerial tramway station remains abandoned on the north side since 1961, when the system operated for only one day before closing permanently.
