The river valleys of central and eastern Sonora, especially the Río Sonora, were the heartland of Spanish colonial Sonora from the 17th to the 19th centuries. Their communities of Opata and Eudeve peoples, and of Spaniards and their mestizo and mulato descendants, constituted a frontier society that fused Iberian and Indigenous crops, livestock, irrigation techniques, and foods that took root in the 1600s and still survives today.

We are still working on the details, but this trip will look very similar to our 2026 adventure. Check it out HERE.
