With beautiful Sonoran desert scenery, flora and fauna as a backdrop, the region has historic locations ranging from an archaeological treasure at Trincheras to a number of Franciscan missions that were built in locations where the Jesuit priest Eusebio Francisco Kino first established churches in the late 17th century.
Northern Sonora highways are maintained in good condition, so you can enjoy the desert scenery from the road as you have an enjoyable drive between the cities and pueblos of the north region.
Driving south from Nogales you will pass through Imuris, Magdalena de Kino and Santa Ana, Sonora. Take a right on Mexico highway 2 and you will pass by Trincheras and through Altar, Pitiquito and Caborca on your way to the Sonoran coast.
