Search flights from CUL to HMO
Gulf of California
Continuous views of the sparkling Sea of Cortez as the flight heads north-northwest.
Topolobampo Bay
A stunning network of coastal lagoons and the deep-water industrial port visible shortly after takeoff.
Coastal Estuaries
Intricate white salt flats and turquoise water channels contrasting against the desert tan.
Pacific Sunset
On evening flights, the sun sets directly over the horizon, casting a golden glow across the water.
Choose the left side for the best coastal perspective. On afternoon flights, the sun will be behind you or to the side, providing excellent lighting for photos of the Gulf. During the descent into Hermosillo, look for the rugged coastline near Bahía de Kino.

A massive agricultural hub near Ciudad Obregon, visible as a vast patchwork of green fields.
Inland Reservoirs
Large water bodies like the Presa Álvaro Obregón appear as blue gems within the arid landscape.
Sonoran Desert
Vast stretches of desert scrub and dry riverbeds that characterize the terrain of northern Mexico.
