'''Sonora''' is a [[Mexico|Mexican]] federal state located in the northwestern part of the country at the Gulf of California. It shares borders with the [[United States of America|U.S.]] states of [[Arizona]] and [[New Mexico]] to the north, the Mexican states of [[Chihuahua]] to the east, [[Sinaloa]] to the south, and [[Baja California]] to the west. The capital of Sonora is [[Hermosillo]], located more or less in the center of the state. Other important cities are [[Guaymas]] at the Gulf coast, [[Ciudad Obregón]] and [[Navojoa]] in the south, the tourist town of [[Puerto Peñasco]] at the northern Gulf coast, and the border cities of [[San Luis Río Colorado]], [[Nogales]], [[Sonoita]], and [[Agua Prieta]], where a border crossing is possible.
Most parts of Sonora are very dry or desert-like, with a comparatively low population density. The people of Sonora are said to be the most outgoing of Mexico.
Although located in the north of Mexico, Sonora is rather unaffected by organized crime. Only [[hitchhiking at night]] should be avoided.
