Get around

See

• The Pinacate Nature Reserve, just south of the U.S. border, a stunning example of desert landscape.

Do

Eat

• If you are a meat eater, you must look out for carne asada tacos. The residents of the region are justifiably proud of their beef industry.
• In Hermosillo you can have lots of different "night food", ranging from tacos de carne asada, sonoran style hotdogs, burro percheron (a burrito on steroids, by this meaning huge), traditional "fondas" and even sushi wagons in some places.
• In Ciudad Obregón everybody should try "tacos cebositos", one of the cities specialties or having a cocunut by "la laguna del Nainari" as well as Horchata de coco.

Drink

• The local brandy is cheap and good.
• Just like Jalisco has Tequila, Sonora has Bacanora, another drink made out of the destillation of agave. It's a quite famous drink among the northwest of Mexico. It is produced mainly on the Bacanora region on the Sierra region of Sonora
