Hermosillo 'The City of the Sun', is the largest city and capital city of the Mexican state Sonora. It has a population of about 650,000, and is located just 167 miles from the border of the United States. Hermosillo has a very active history that dates back to the early 1700’s, and has been a vital city especially during the Mexican Revolution. Because of this, it is a well known historical landmark. The city is also framed by astounding and rugged natural landscapes which prove as a beautiful contrast to blend of historical and modern architecture. Hermosillo is full of life and is a great place for those who want to soak up Mexico’s rich culture and history.
