Sonora Mexico

Sonora Mexico is the second-largest state in the country, sharing a long border with Arizona and stretching down to the Sea of Cortez. Articles in this category look at the capital Hermosillo, the Pacific coast resort of San Carlos, the Yaqui and Mayo indigenous communities, the cattle ranching that gives the state its beef reputation and the carne asada culture that reaches across the border, the desert ecology of the Pinacate biosphere reserve and the safer crossing points compared with other border states. There are practical notes on the Hermosillo airport and on driving down from Tucson.
