Sonora

Sonora is best known within Mexico for the Sonoran Desert, an immense arid region marked by giant saguaro cacti, broad plains and rugged mountain ranges. The state stretches from the Gulf of California east toward the Sierra Madre Occidental, creating sharp contrasts between desert basins, coastal wetlands and higher country. Hermosillo, the state capital, is Sonora’s principal urban centre, while the southern river valleys are associated with Yaqui and Mayo communities whose traditions remain an important part of the region’s identity.
