On the banks of the majestic Sonora River, near the charming magical town of Ures (a destination full of history and tradition in central Sonora) is El Aguililla, a campground that invites you to immerse yourself in riverside landscapes, breathe fresh air, and enjoy nature at its best. The region where El Aguililla is located is part of the well-known Sonora River Route, a tourist corridor that combines nature, culture, and charming small towns.

From the moment visitors cross the entrance, the sound of the water and the river breeze welcome them like a hug. The serenity of its banks, accompanied by birdsong and the tranquility of the surroundings, makes it an ideal place for those seeking to disconnect from routine. The calm waters of the Sonora River offer the perfect setting to contemplate the landscape, fish, or relax outdoors under an open sky. The campground offers riverside camping spaces with natural shade and beautiful views, fire pit and grill areas for nighttime gatherings under starry skies, riverside rest zones perfect for hammocks and quiet moments, as well as riverside trails for walking and exploring. Must‑do activities from El Aguililla include recreational fishing, riverside walks, swimming in calm river stretches, and excursions to observe birds and local wildlife, plus the nearby Paseo El Gavilán and other natural attractions around the area. El Aguililla is not just a campground: it is a place where each sunrise by the Sonora River awakens the desire to explore and each sunset turns the surroundings into an unforgettable memory.
