Divisadero

If you’re looking for a hotel in Divisadero, the nature and activity options in the municipality of Santa Catarina can help you plan your trip. Other points of interest range from hiking and rappelling tours to cycling tours, a cave with plants and animals, and the history of Guitarritas. This helps you choose a destination based on different interests: scenery, activity, nature, or cultural heritage. Before searching, you can decide whether scenery, a particular type of tour, or a nature or cultural theme is your priority.

The Canyon and Getting to the National Park

The “Divisadero” Canyon is in La Huasteca, in the municipality of Santa Catarina. To reach the entrance to Parque Nacional Cumbres de Monterrey through the Cañón de la Huasteca, take Federal Highway 40 to Santa Catarina; from there, drive 3 km south. The entrance is 19 km from the municipality of Monterrey. These two distances have different reference points: 3 km is the remaining distance from Santa Catarina, while 19 km is the distance from the entrance to the municipality of Monterrey. You can use these figures separately when navigating to the national park entrance.

Hiking and Rappelling in La Huasteca

The Cueva de la Virgen tour in Parque La Huasteca includes hiking and rappelling and is offered year-round. Check directly with a tour operator to confirm current availability. Nido de los Aguiluchos also includes hiking and rappelling; the tour consists of a hike over rocks and trails, some climbing, and several rappelling sections. Both tours share hiking and rappelling as their main elements; Nido also provides more detail about the terrain and itinerary.

Cycling Tours and History in Guitarritas

Nido de los Aguiluchos and Guitarritas are named as locations for cycling tours in La Huasteca. Guitarritas is said to be accessible on foot, by bicycle, or by car. The Huichol once held ceremonies in Guitarritas. While the cycling connection applies to both locations, the access options and historical connection to the ceremonies apply specifically to Guitarritas.

Nature at Cueva de la Virgen

Cueva de la Virgen is home to small animals, Lechuguillas, and Victoria agaves; the Victoria agaves are endangered. Lizards also hide among the folds in the rock. In contrast to the activity-focused tours, this is a different kind of nature experience, centered on plants, animals, and their habitat rather than a tour itinerary.

Activity-focused options such as tours and cycling can be weighed against nature and cultural interests. When looking for a hotel in Divisadero, you can consider which focus matters most during your stay and plan your trip accordingly.
