Introduction
Paseo Santa Lucía is Monterrey's man-made canal promenade, built in 2007 for the Universal Forum of Cultures. Running about 2.5 km, it links the downtown Macroplaza with Parque Fundidora to the east in one continuous landscaped corridor. Fountains, relief murals and cafés line the waterway; you can walk the full length or ride one of the flat-bottomed boats. After dark the lighting comes on and it becomes Monterrey's favourite evening stroll.
