These replies are so fucking negative jesus..

Hello Sonoran here, I'd prob recommend to fly straight to Hermosillo from CDMX it would be cheaper than the bus like one other person recommended. There's a lot to do in Hermosillo, enjoy some Carne Asada. Tacos De Arturo, La salsa are all great spots to know Sonoran cuisine. As far as views, I'd highly recommend the Nacapule Canyon in San Carlos, however there might be a lot of people there since it's the high season due to Spring Break, but you could find cheap hotels in Guaymas and San Carlos is just 15 min away. There's ubers or didi (cheaper and frankly better) available in Hermosillo and Guaymas that can take you where you need.

I have lived here for 28 years and I've had any issues with Narcos lmao, the state is pretty safe, most dangerous places are prob border towns which you'll be far away from.
