HMO โ LMM
Which side of the plane to sit from General Ignacio P. Garcia International Airport (Hermosillo) to Valle del Fuerte International Airport (Los Mochis)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers spectacular coastal views of the Sea of Cortez, including the rugged shoreline near Guaymas and the intricate lagoons of the Sinaloa coast.
Sea of Cortez
Stunning vistas of the deep blue Gulf of California throughout the majority of the flight path.
Tetakawi Peak
The iconic twin-peaked mountain near San Carlos is visible as the flight passes the Guaymas area.
Isla San Pedro Nolasco
A rugged island nature reserve known for its sea lion colonies, visible shortly after departure from HMO.
Bahรญa de Ohuira
The complex bay system and coastal wetlands surrounding Los Mochis during the final descent.
Coastal Lagoons
Intricate patterns of saltwater lagoons and estuaries near the mouth of the Mayo River.
The right side is unbeatable for afternoon flights, offering potential for golden hour views over the water. Keep your camera ready during descent into LMM for the best views of the Sinaloan coastline and bays.
Sonoran Desert Landscape
Expansive views of the arid Sonoran landscape transitioning into the foothills of the Sierra Madre.
Ciudad Obregรณn
View of the grid-like urban layout of one of Sonora's most productive agricultural and industrial hubs.
Yaqui Valley Greenery
The striking contrast of lush, irrigated farmland against the surrounding dry desert terrain.
Sierra Madre Occidental
On clear days, the jagged peaks of the western mountain range are visible on the eastern horizon.
Sit on the left during morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is better for spotting the vast network of irrigation canals that fuel the local agricultural economy.
