Explore-Sonora Travel Advisories
Southern Nogales, Sonora
We recommend that if traveling to Sonora by car, enter Mexico via the Mariposa Port of Entry in northern Nogales, Sonora. This allows you to bypass the city.
When crossing the border on foot, avoid traveling alone. The shopping area south of the border is well protected, but you must still remain alert and aware of your surroundings.
Tubutama, Sonora
Some members of this mission pueblo's local government were assassinated in 2010, and 29 men were killed in a gun battle in the desert near Tubutama. Rumors persist that a revenge action may be in the offing, but at any rate this area, also part of the "Ruta de las Misiones" is not recommended for travel.
