Sierra Madre Ridges
Endless waves of jagged, pine-covered mountain peaks that define the Mexican heartland.
Basaseachi National Park
Extremely rugged terrain located south of the path, known for having some of Mexico's highest waterfalls.
Sonoran Arroyos
Intricate drainage patterns and dry riverbeds visible as the plane descends towards Hermosillo.
Wild Saguaro Forests
Dense clusters of giant cacti visible on the low-altitude approach into the desert valley.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights; the sun will be behind you, lighting up the deep shadows of the Sierra Madre canyons perfectly. This side is especially scenic in late summer when the monsoon season turns the mountains vibrant green.

Chihuahua Valley
Sweeping views of the capital city and its surrounding high-altitude desert plateau upon takeoff.
Madera Ridges
Northern stretches of the mountain range known for deep forests and historic logging communities.
Nacozari Mining District
Stark geological formations and evidence of the region's rich copper and mineral mining heritage.
Cerro de la Campana
The distinct bell-shaped mountain landmark that stands as the sentinel for the city of Hermosillo.
The right side is best for sunset flights to avoid the harsh glare of the setting sun while still seeing the colorful gradient over the northern Sonoran horizon. Watch for the stark contrast between the industrial mining sites and the pristine mountain wilderness.
