"CERRO DE LA COMPANIA" Top 5 Page for this destination Hermosillo Things to Do Tip by mtncorg

Rising slightly to the east of the main square and festooned with television and communication towers, the Cerro de la Compania (Hill of the Bell) provides a grand panorama over the vastness that has become Hermosillo. The hill is a longtime favorite with locals - both for the view and as a romantic haunt. Recntly, the government has beautified the access road with pots of bougainville and cobblestoned the street. There is a parking area just below the towers and views stretch off to the north, west and south. The historical core lies below to the west; the business core to the northwest and out of view at the base of the hill on the northeast is the old State Prison which has been transformed into a fine museum devoted to the long and varied history of the State of Sonora.
