Hotels in Sonora, Mexico

Sonora is Mexico's northwestern desert state, with scorching summers hitting 104°F (40°C) and mild winters around 60°F (15°C). It's famous for the otherworldly Pinacate Biosphere Reserve-a UNESCO site with volcanic craters-and the Sea of Cortez, where you can kayak at Bahía de Kino in winter. Summer is best for early-morning hikes among towering saguaro cacti, then cooling off with fresh ceviche in Guaymas.
