Puerto la V or Puerto del Aire is one of the friendliest routes on the Mitras Hill with beautiful views of the city of Monterrey.
Driving along Av. Paseo de los Leones at Home Depot, turn onto Sevilla Street, then turn left at Richard E. Byrd and go up Venecia Street again, where you drive to the end of the street.
On Venecia Street, there is parking along the entire sidewalk until the start of the road in the guard's booth. It is advisable to arrive early due to the large traffic flow in the area.
The completion of this route does not involve any additional cost
The village is well marked thanks to the large influx of users who circulate through it, after the birth there are 2 roads that can take us to the V or to the mines and other peaks. To reach the V you take the left and if you arrive at the sandblasting area you took the right path, then go up the road until you reach the port.
This route has a level 5 in our classification with around 850 meters of unevenness (equivalent to Pico UDEM) and extends for 3 kilometers. The sidewalk is somewhat heavy because it is very direct, the beginning gives us an idea of how heavy the entire route will be, during the second kilometer (after the stone bed) it starts to get steeper and this section is the heaviest. After arriving at the 'Birth', a climb begins again up the last trickle, which is a little easier because the sidewalk is making a kind of zig-zag.
