Ex-Hacienda Amargos sits in the Paredón desert, Coahuila \[2\], a town in the municipality of Ramos Arizpe \[1\]. Getting there is mostly a highway drive, whether you're coming from Saltillo, from Monterrey, or flying into either city's airport. By distance, it's about 80 kilometers from Saltillo and 75 from the seat of Ramos Arizpe \[6\].

**Key facts**

- The town of Paredón, in the municipality of Ramos Arizpe, Coahuila, had 1,003 inhabitants and an elevation of 775 meters above sea level in INEGI's 2020 Population and Housing Census \[1\].
- Paredón lies roughly 80 kilometers by road from Saltillo and about 75 from the city of Ramos Arizpe, according to OpenStreetMap calculations made in September 2026 \[6\].
- Saltillo and Ramos Arizpe are about 15 km apart, and Monterrey is roughly 75 km from Ramos Arizpe via the MEX 40/40D expressway \[6\].
- Plan de Guadalupe International Airport sits at kilometer 13.5 of the Saltillo–Monterrey highway, in the municipality of Ramos Arizpe \[3\], the same one Paredón belongs to \[1\].

## How do you get there from Saltillo and Monterrey?

From Saltillo, this is the most direct origin: take the Saltillo–Monclova highway and continue to kilometer 63; thirteen kilometers further toward Paredón is the address given by Bodegas Capellanía, the winery behind the Amargos vineyard \[2\]. That puts the total at about 80 kilometers from Saltillo \[6\], and the drive leaves the urban area quickly for the semi-desert landscape typical of this part of Coahuila.

From greater Monterrey, Paredón is roughly 90 kilometers by road \[6\].

| Starting point | Approximate distance | Route |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Saltillo (downtown) | ≈ 80 km | Saltillo–Monclova highway |
| Ramos Arizpe (municipal seat) | ≈ 75 km | Toward Paredón |
| Saltillo–Ramos Arizpe | ≈ 15 km | Saltillo–Monterrey highway |
| Monterrey (city)–Paredón | ≈ 90 km | Direct distance (OSRM) |

## Is it worth flying in?

There are two reference airports. Plan de Guadalupe International Airport sits at kilometer 13.5 of the Saltillo–Monterrey highway, in the municipality of Ramos Arizpe \[3\]; from there you need to head back to Saltillo or Ramos Arizpe to pick up the highway to Monclova toward Amargos. Monterrey International Airport, by contrast, is in Apodaca, Nuevo León, at kilometer 24 of Carretera Miguel Alemán \[4\], within the Monterrey metropolitan area. From either one, renting a car is worthwhile: you'll want to move around the region to see nearby spots, including what's worth doing in [Paredón, Coahuila](https://gruposerver.com.mx/en/blog/paredon-coahuila-que-hacer/).

## What should you know about the highway?

It's an open-highway drive: leave yourself margin, keep to the speed limits and avoid rushed passing. Fill up on gas in Saltillo or in Ramos Arizpe before heading toward Monclova. The open semi-desert landscape is also deceptive: distances look shorter than they are, so drive with extra care in the rural stretches, especially after dark.

## What should you pack in the car?

The area around the Paredón aquifer, where Amargos is located, has a semi-warm arid climate, with an average annual temperature of 20.2 °C and potential evaporation of 1,856 millimeters a year, according to CONAGUA's update on the aquifer's available water supply \[5\]. Pack water, sunscreen and a hat, layered clothing, and closed shoes if you plan to walk the land. Assume cell signal may drop out in some stretches of the semi-desert: download the area map before you leave and bring a power bank.

## When is the best time to visit and see the lots?

For walking the land, early morning or late afternoon works better than midday: with the sun low, the slope of the terrain, the vegetation and each lot's views are much easier to read. Anyone who wants the background first can read [the history of Ex-Hacienda Amargos](https://gruposerver.com.mx/en/blog/historia-ex-hacienda-amargos/) before visiting. To arrange a visit, the simplest approach is to write ahead and set a date and time through the [guided tour](https://gruposerver.com.mx/en/vivienda/campestres/); anyone who wants to see the layout first can check the [master plan](https://gruposerver.com.mx/en/vivienda/campestres/).
