Yécora Forest 2-Day Excursion

Day 1: Hermosillo - Yécora

At the indicated time, we'll pick you up at your hotel in Hermosillo and head to Yécora, a Sonoran town nestled in the Sierra Madre Oriental. The trip by minibus will take almost five hours.

Upon arrival, we'll leave our luggage at the hotel and enjoy lunch. Afterward, we'll visit Rancho La Cueva for a short 3-kilometer hike to the top of a rocky outcrop to take in the views.

During the tour, we'll also have a 40-minute horseback ride through dense coniferous forests that were home to the Tarahumara Indigenous Peoples. We will conclude the day with dinner featuring various types of grilled meat.

Day 2: Yécora - Hermosillo

We'll start the day with breakfast at the hotel and proceed to visit a curious forked tree in the shape of a 'Y'. Next, we'll explore the center of Yécora, including its main square, colorful letters, and the Church of Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe.

After a picnic lunch, we'll visit Mesa del Campanero and a local vegetable garden to learn about typical products of the area. Finally, we'll stop by the Mirador El Bordo viewpoint for views of the green pine forests.

We will then return to Hermosillo, with an arrival at your hotel scheduled for 8 pm.
