Get around

See

  • Caverns of Sonora, Caverns of Sonora Road (off I-10 8 miles west of town), +1 325-387-6507. Consistently called by speleologists as one of the most beautiful caves in the country, the cavern has a host of unique, impossible-looking formations. Guided tours leave every half-hour for a somewhat strenuous 1.5 mile path underground.
  • Eaton Hill Wildlife Sanctuary. 37-acre nature park with 3 miles of hiking trails, with both Hill Country and Chihuahua Desert wildlife. Open during daylight hours. Free.

Do

  • Downtown walking tour. Self-guided tour which hits 18 points of interest around town. Brochures are available from the website.

Buy

Eat

  • La Mexicana, 240 Highway 277 N # 3088, +1 325 387-3401. Better than the average small-town Mexican restaurant.

Drink

Sleep

  • Days Inn, 1312 N Service Rd, +1 325 387-3516. The hotel is older and thus cheaper than some area hotels, but the rooms are spacious and clean, and include mini-fridge and microwave.
  • Comfort Inn, 311 N Hwy 277, +1 325 387-5800. Clean and quiet, with free high-speed internet. Mini-fridge and microwave in every room.
