A silent giant watches over Monterrey. Have you ever laid eyes on Pico Antena? This peak is one of the four distinct summits of Cerro de la Silla. The mountain’s name, meaning “Saddle Mountain,” comes from its unique shape resembling a saddle. Pico Antena is easily identifiable as it proudly hosts the antenna of Televisa Monterrey. It’s a popular hiking destination. The most frequented path to its peak offers breathtaking views. Did you know that Pico Antena was once planned to be far more accessible? In the late 1950s, a grand project was initiated to build a cable car system on Cerro de la Silla. Sadly, tragedy struck during its inaugural journey in 1961. A gondola tragically plummeted, taking the lives of several people. This heartbreaking event included the engineer who designed it. The remnants of this ill-fated project are still visible today. Hikers often encounter the haunting remains of the cable car platform on their ascent. Pico Antena is a stark reminder that even in the shadow of ambition, nature holds a power we must respect.
