The pueblo of Trincheras, Sonora is located near the Federal Highway 2 between Santa Ana and Altar.
About a mile west of the highway toll booths, the road to Trincheras is marked by a bus stop, pictured at right. Turn on that road, drive a few miles, and you'll be in Trincheras.
Trincheras has a rich history and culture, including a terraced hill that is an archaeological treasure made hundreds of years ago by primitive cultures, apparently for defense. It was also home to 1850's historical figure Joaquin Murrieta.
