Half Day Puerto Peñasco tour

Puerto Peñasco (Rocky Point) is a small city located in Puerto Peñasco Municipality in the northwest of the Mexican state of Sonora, 100 kilometres (62 mi) from the border with the U. S. state of Arizona1. The area is part of the Altar Desert, one of the driest and hottest areas of the larger Sonoran Desert. The city is known by two names, Puerto Peñasco (rocky cliff port) in Spanish and Rocky Point in English. In 1826, retired Robert William Hale Hardy of the British Royal Navy was sailing in this area searching for pearls and precious metals. He named the area Rocky Point, and it was identified as Rocky Point on marine maps until President Lázaro Cárdenas changed it to Puerto Punta Peñasco. The history of Puerto Peñasco dates back to the early 16th century, when Spanish explorers first arrived in the region. The area was originally inhabited by the O'odham, a Native American people, who had settled the area centuries before. Since the late 1990s, there has been a push to develop the area for tourism.
