El Pinacate y Gran Desierto de Altar Biosphere Reserve

Reviewed By Foody4seeker

The visitors center is nice. There is an 18 minute movie in english you can ask for. There are two short informative hikes that have signage in spanish and english. The road to the craters is permanently closed due to a local township wanting a fee for passage so they made a new road further north. You still have to check in at the biological center where the old road starts, 23 Km north of the visitors center. There you will pay an additional fee and be given instructions and a map. All in spanish. The new road is at Km 51 west out of Sonoyta, about 125 Km. A bit of an inconvenience but we wanted to see the craters and we had packed a lunch and had plenty to drink. The entrance is not marked but it is next to a structure being built, probably a new entrance office. From there it is pretty straight forward. High clearance vehicles are a must. The camping area is pretty spartan. It has a couple of tables with fire rings. The desert was in full bloom and was breath taking.
