Just a four-hour drive from Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona, in Sonora, Mexico, is Puerto Pensaco. Located on the Sea of Cortez the vacation destination, also referred as Rocky Point, is home to a Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course, the Mayan Palace Resort, challenging deep sea fishing, scenic parasailing, value shopping, and leisurely sightseeing. The U.S. Dollar is welcome and currently has decent buying power.

Puerto Pensaco began as a fishing village in the 1930s and developed into a shrimp producing area. The U.S. Prohibition Era brought vacationing U.S. businessman Johnny Stone who saw potential to attract Americans to fish and vacation. He’s responsible for building the town’s first hotel and gradually, the Mexican vacation destination has become popular with Americans seeking to relax, unwind and up for adventure.

Some natural activities in and around Puerto Pensaco vacationers can enjoy include (and yes, we know it requires a little bit of driving back north to the border but trust us, they’re worth it):

Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument
Life and landscape of the Sonoran Desert is celebrated at Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument. Drive a lonely road, hike the backcountry among cactus, enjoy the magnificent beauty of the Southwest.

El Pinacate Volcanic Region Reserve
Considered one of the most unique volcanic zones in the world, the Grand Pinacate and Grand Desierto de Altar Biosphere Reserve conserves gigantic craters, ancient history and culture. The reserve is located halfway between Puerto Pensaco and Sonoyta.

Other activities Puerto Pensaco vacationers can experience include snorkeling, beachcombing, kite surfing, and kayaking.
