Old Town Caborca
The heart of Caborca lies in its photogenic Old Mission (La Purísima Concepción de Nuestra Señora de Caborca), a mission church that dates back to the 1690s when Jesuit missionary Francisco Xavier Saeta became its first priest. Saeta was killed in an uprising by the native O’odham people in 1695 and the original church was burned. Father Eusebio Kino, the priest famous for overseeing a number of the historic Catholic missions of the U.S. Southwest, later brought carpenters to build a replacem...
History In The Making
One of the fascinating things to see in the Old Mission is the room that holds the original baptismal font — a large vessel that reportedly was taken from the church in the 1930s by a young American woman, purportedly for its protection. Over the decades, the font had been held in the U.S., first in a family collection, and later in an Arizona museum. Members of the Prescott/Caborca Sister Cities organization worked for nearly 15 years to try to get the font returned to its original home. Fin...
Museo Histórico Y Etnográfico
Just across the street from the mission is the excellent town museum, the MHEC (Museo Histórico y Etnográfico de Caborca). The museum was remodeled recently and currently has a collection of 80 pieces, including a petroglyph between 3,000 and 8,000 years old, obsidian and quartz arrowheads, charm beads, 18th-century coins, and a replica of the flag from the famous battle of April 6, 1857. When I visited in early November, the museum was exhibiting wonderful paintings and displays depicting th...
Seis De Abril
Each April, the residents of Caborca celebrate a holiday that is unique to the Sonoran city. The 6th of Aprilholiday is a time for the celebration of the town’s victory over former American soldier Henry Crabb and a team of armed “filibusters” who traveled to Caborca in the spring of 1857 on an unauthorized mission against the Mexican government. According to Explore Sonora, Caborca residents defended the city for eight days until Crabb and his men surrendered to the Mexican authorities and w...
Ancient Rock Art
The geographical region that extends south of Caborca and north into what is now Arizona has been inhabited by ancient native people for centuries. The works of rock art from those cultures are on spectacular display in their natural Sonoran Desert environment at the Caborca Petroglyphs, located on a private ranchland just west of Caborca. The town’s tourism website notes that the Mogollon people inhabited the area from about 600 B.C. to 1400 A.D. Other native cultures have lived in the regio...
Home Of Pieles Pitic
For another mission church from the Father Kino era in a small-town atmosphere, take the short drive along Mexico Highway 2 to the Pueblo of Pitiquito. The community is located in the desert hills several miles east of Caborca. Along with being home to the 1689-era mission church, San Diego de Pitiquito, the town is also the site of Pieles Pitic, a producer of traditional and fine leather goods. The Viva Caborca websitenotes that Pieles Pitic was founded in 1971 and has long offered hand-craf...
Carne Asada, Salsas, And More
When I asked local Caborcans about the food specialty of their region, there was no dispute. Carne asada (grilled beef) was the unanimous choice. Sonora is known for its exceptional beef, carne asada — a grilled, chopped beef dish — is the culinary star in restaurants all over Caborca. I especially loved the tacos served at the casual, fun restaurant, Asadero Bifalo, and the combination plates at the full-service breakfast, lunch, and dinner restaurant El Timón. The salsas at both places were...
The Tourist Town Of Rocky Point
With the Sea of Cortez just two hours away, it’s hard to resist a trip to the cool tourist town of Puerto Peñasco, also known as Rocky Point. The town, located about an hour’s drive southwest of the Arizona/Sonora border crossing in Lukeville/Sonoyta, is a popular vacation spot for Sonora residents, as well as Arizona residents. What was once a small fishing village has become a popular beach resort town. For decades, Puerto Peñasco has been known as an excellent spot for ocean fishing, water...
