Area Surrounding San Carlos

The Sea of Cortez (also called the Gulf of California) is a unique ocean environment formed millions of years ago when Baja California slid westward due to geological activity in the San Andreas fault. The clear, mild waters of the sea are influenced by the warm tropical eastern Pacific, and attracts many tropical marine species. We have over 800 species of fish, and over 400 species of shell, as well as several species of animals found in this unique area that occur nowhere else in the world. The Sea of Cortez is a dynamic body of water whose beaches are continually washed by the gentle waves.

If you're flying, you really want to take the AeroMexico flight from Phoenix rather than Tucson, it is much cheaper, and they're running 50 - 70% off specials through June 30. AeroMexico has round trip deals from US cities to Guaymas and return much cheaper than any US carrier we've yet found.

If you're driving, it is only about four hours on our very good four lane "interstate" style highway      from Nogales, at the border. Connections from the US are interstate I10 and I19 through Phoenix or Tucson.
