Puerto Penasco is the newest tourist destination in the country's Northwest that offers visitors an impressive hotel infrastructure of the condo-hotel type and which has begun the construction of a "Home Port" to open the Sea of Cortez to cruise liners, in addition to beautiful beaches for relaxing and admiring the lovely sunsets, two golf courses, as well as many water sports options such as: sailing, sport fishing and jet skiing. Complementing this attractive destination's offerings is the impressive Pinacate Biosphere Reserve and its more than 400 craters surrounded by the Grand Altar Desert.
Hermosillo, capital of the state of Sonora, has positioned itself as one of the most attractive cities in the country because of the astonishing variety of activities that can be enjoyed here - snorkeling, hiking, bird watching, mountain cycling, in addition to hunting tourism - and its economic, political and social important development. The city is located three hours from the border, 100 kilometers from the Sea of Cortez, and with fast access to all other regions of the entity and other states.
With this new route, Aeromexico adds to its network the 47th destination in Mexico, confirming its commitment to continue being the airline that promotes national and international tourism in Mexico and expands its connection network in different regions of the Mexican territory with the rest of the world.
