On your first visit to San Carlos,
you will admire the beauty of its landscapes, starting with the scenic corridor accompanied with the striking “Tetakawi” hill in its background; this is a copper colored mountain, which symbolizes the city. The sea breeze, waves, pristine beaches and elegant hotels and condominiums that make up this peaceful paradise, inspires visitors to enjoy all the activities they choose to do.
The landscape combines the colored copper mountains, desert and the beautiful blue sea, that makes you want to explore the land, sail the water, go fishing, or discover its submarine life. San Carlos offers you much more than a beach…it presents an unlimited assortment of activities that will stay forever in your memory. |

By Car
It’s simple and safe to drive from the Southwest US into Sonora, Mexico!
In general, you will need:
- A tourist visa
- Mexican auto insurance
All of these are simple and inexpensive to obtain, and can be acquired when you arrive at the border. (Although you may want to save money by arranging for insurance ahead of time.)
From Tucson (320 Miles) – about a 6-hour drive:
- Take AZ Highway 19 to Nogales
- Take Exit #4 to the Highway 189 bypass (Mariposa Road), which then becomes Mexico Highway 15
- You’ll encounter 3 toll booths
on Highway 15 on the way to San Carlos, charging between
19 and 59 pesos each.
- About 257 km (160 miles) south of the border, you’ll arrive at Hermosillo. At the first stoplight, turn left to head toward Guaymas.
San Carlos is 10 km north of Guaymas. As you approach Guaymans, follow the well-marked road signs to San Carlos.
