Ciudad Obregon

Located 150 miles south of the state capital of Hermosillo in Sonora’s Yaqui Valley, Ciudad Obregon is the second-largest city in the state, with 450,000 inhabitants.  The city, previously known as Cajeme, is a center of business and agriculture.  It boasts a proud Yaqui tradition, evident in many of the cultural sights and activities available there.
