The grid layout makes driving straightforward and a car is the practical choice. Buses cover the city, and note that Sonora keeps a different clock from most of Mexico and does not observe seasonal changes.
The cooler months from late autumn to spring are much the most comfortable. Summers in Sonora are extremely hot, and the brief summer rains bring humidity.
