Search flights from CEN to HMO
Valle del Yaqui
Intricate geometric patterns of one of Mexico's most productive agricultural regions surrounding Ciudad Obregon.
Sierra Madre Foothills
The rising peaks of the western mountain range provide a jagged, scenic backdrop to the east throughout the journey.
Yaqui River
The lifeblood of the region, visible as it snakes through the valley toward the coast near the start of the trip.
Cerro de la Campana
The iconic Bell Hill landmark welcoming you as the plane descends into the valley of Hermosillo.
The right side is ideal for morning flights when the sun lights up the Sierra Madre mountains to the east. The short duration means landscapes change quickly, so keep your camera ready for the transition from the lush green grids of the farmland to the rocky, red-toned desert hills that surround Hermosillo's airport.

Gulf of California
Vast blue horizons of the Sea of Cortez visible in the distance to the west on clear days.
Sonoran Desert Floor
Expansive views of the arid landscape dotted with hardy desert scrub and unique geological formations.
Coastal Lagoons
Reflective bodies of water near the shoreline that glimmer during late afternoon flights as you track north.
Choose this side for late afternoon or evening flights to experience the sunset over the Gulf of California. Since this is a very short flight at relatively low altitude, the detail on the desert floor is quite high. Watch for the coastal shimmer near Guaymas as you pass to the east of it.
