Dates for 2021 Sonora Rally Announced

Sonora, the second largest state in Mexico, is a culturally rich desert environment well-known for its rich copper deposits, ample sunshine, and lack of rainfall. Sonora is home to ancient societies dating back to 1500 B.C. including the Yaquis, Mayos, and Cucapas, who are still active within the state. It is a region that saw Spanish explorers like Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca pass through in search of resources and as well as conquistadores such as Nuño Beltrán and Diego Guzmán who launched military campaigns against the indigenous tribes. Sonora incorporated into independent Mexico under the Constitution of 1824 only to be caught in the Mexican-American war during the 1840s.
