Saunas & recovery in Monterrey
Monterrey stages the World Cup at Estadio BBVA, framed dramatically by the Cerro de la Silla mountain in northern Mexico. The industrial powerhouse runs hot and dry in summer, making recovery a priority for fans braving the desert climate. Modern spa-hotels in San Pedro Garza García, gym recovery suites and traditional temazcal lodges give visitors plenty of ways to sweat out a match and cool down before the next one.
In Monterrey's dry heat, hydrate and finish cold: a sauna or temazcal followed by a cold plunge cools your core and eases sore legs between matches.
