Bacochibampo Bay

In the Yaqui language, Bacochibampo means “bay of vipers.” Dry and hot, the bay is in the municipality of Guaymas, Sonora, right in the heart of the Gulf of California. It is just 3 miles from the international airport and 75 miles from Hermosillo.

Guaymas’ layout is characterized by the bay and the city’s wealthy residential neighborhood. The center of this district is Puerto Náutico, an environmental project encompassing the largest marina on the Gulf of California. Here you can find beach hotels and a marina, convention center, mall, parks, a sailing and beach club, as well as fishing, scuba diving, and tennis.
