Refrésquese en el parque acuático o en la playa
Las Palapas water park is just a short drive from downtown
Caborca, on the highway to Pitiquito.
The small fishing village of Desemboque (also part of Caborca) on
the coast of the Sea of Cortez is less than an hour's drive away.
Take a hiking tour to view ancient petroglyphs
View the fascinating stone etchings made thousands of years ago by the ancient
inhabitants. Tours can be arranged through the Caborca Office of Conventions and
Visitors (OCV Caborca), or with one of several companies offering tours that of the area
that originate in the United States. Tour information can also be obtained at the front
desk of Motel El Camino.
Visit historic Pueblo Viejo
This is a must-see for any visitor to Caborca. The
church is on the site of the mission La Purísima
Concepción de Nuestra Señora de Caborca, established
in 1693 by Jesuit Priest Eusebio Kino. In addition to
being a religious center for the community over the
years, Pueblo Viejo has also been the site of burnings
and violence, to include a battle for the city fought in
1857 as residents defended the town against a group
of American aggressors.
The Church of the Candelaria
|
Visit the Cerro de Nuestra Virgen de Guadalupe
This shrine features a painting of Mexico's patron saint and an interesting
collection of symbols of faith and gratitude to the Virgin of Guadalupe.

Caborca Rojos play against one of the other minor league teams in their division.
Take a drive to Pitiquito
The pueblo of Pitiquito is a short drive from
Caborca, and well worth the trip. Pitiquito has
one of the world's finest leather works and
showroom, featuring a variety of leather goods.
Pitiquito also has a lovely Kino mission church.
