Sonora, Mexico’s second largest state, takes her time in revealing her treasures. Arriving in Hermasillo, “The City of the Sun,” we spend an inspiring afternoon at the world-class MUSAS, Museo de Arte de Sonora, happily wandering among stunning art by Picasso, Magritte, and Botero. The next day, we explore a bit of the vast ochre Sonoran Desert, gazing at stately saguaro cactus, colorful Taco/Tecate snack stands, and an endless horizon. A few hours later, we arrive at Alamos, one of Mexico’s charming colonial “Pueblos Magicos.”
