Guaymas San Carlos is a beautiful tourist destination with a variety of contrasting mountain and ocean landscapes to admire. Visitors will also be treated to traditional Sonoran hospitality, making it an ideal vacation spot any time of year. They say that when you visit Guaymas San Carlos, you’re really visiting not one, but two destinations located on the shores of the spectacular Sea of Cortez.

Guaymas is the second most important port on the Pacific Coast of Mexico and this community is widely known for its port facilities and nautical and commercial industries. The city’s main source of income is fishing, which is due in part to the important biodiversity of the Sea of Cortez, which oceanographer Jacques-Yves Cousteau called "the Aquarium of the World" for its great diversity of marine life.

Guaymas is also a colonial city founded in 1769 with stunning mountain landscapes, valleys, and coastal plains. Undoubtedly, this city has been blessed with incredible natural attractions, from the bottom of the sea to the mountain tops. It is located a few miles from San Carlos, so when we talk about Guaymas, inevitably we also have to talk about San Carlos, and vice versa.

San Carlos is the tourist area of the port of Guaymas. It is located just 10 miles away and offers quiet beaches where you can enjoy a variety of watersports. It offers a good selection of hotels, two marinas with space for more than 500 boats, a golf course, a dolphinarium, and a pristine stretch of beachfront. Currently, it is said that San Carlos is the great tourist gem of Sonora.
