I went to the sand dunes again last Saturday with some friends from here in Hermosillo. This was my second opportunity to go and I enjoyed it even more than the first. It’s really hard to appreciate the size of the hills from the photos. They are steep climbs and crazy drops. The dunes are next to the beach which goes on for hours. Perfect, untouched beaches as far as you can see. The challenge is in getting there. You cannot get there easy and it would require 4×4. The next best way to go, especially if you wanted to appreciate the private beaches, would be by boat. Unfortunately, my boat has been out of commission since forever.
I am very much wanting to buy a Cherokee so as to have my own vehicle to take and also so that I can take the dogs. This would be a perfect place for them to run for hours on end. Also, having a 4×4 to endure the horrible driving conditions in town would be nice too. Yun is not so sold on the idea, but perhaps with time.
Here are some more photos and a short video I put together of the day.
