Sonora is a state of Mexico
Understand
Sonora is a border state marked by contrasts. He owns 916 km of coastline on the Sea of Cortés offering the traveler endless possibilities. It is also endowed with one of the main commercial ports of the country, Guaymas, which, moreover, has a complete tourist infrastructure, including marinas, golf courses, hotel complexes, and good places of peach. It is also recommended to visit the Bay of San Carlos and its large marina dominated by the Tetakawi hill, where you can also practice diving in its huge artificial reef. We should also mention the Miramar beach, which is popular with environmental tourists, moviegoers, as well as sea sports enthusiasts. They will also find space in the piers of Ciudad Obregón, where equipment for water skiing, sailing, canoeing or fishing is available to them, activities that can also be enjoyed on the Lac de Barrage du Nainari. The capital of the state, Hermosillo, also known as the "City of the Sun", rises up, proud of its architecture of XIXe century and its trade, agriculture and livestock activities. Very close to Hermosillo, we recommend that you visit Bahia Kino, which has 10 km of beaches and a great tourist infrastructure that fills with happiness all those who visit it. If you love reefs and watching wildlife, visit the Tiburón Island Ecological Reserve, and for water sports there is nothing like the peaceful waves on the beaches of Puerto Peñasco, with its desert landscapes and peaks. rocky, where motocross races are also held, and which offers all the necessary ecological services and programs. In the bay is San Jorge Island which is the natural habitat of seals, dolphins and manatees. Nearby, and in contrast to these landscapes, over an area of 714,556 hectares, is also the Biosphere Reserve of El Pinacate y Gran Desierto de Altar. This is a geological environment of great importance for the country. We practice, in a limited way, brown sheep and deer hunting, sandboarding and mountaineering. In the south of the state are the missions of Caborca, Àtil and Piquito, which are additional attractions offered by this country of the deer, with its historical and cultural past.
