Baviácora

The town is situated at an elevation of 620 meters above sea level.

Students need to travel to Hermosillo or Ures for a secondary- school education.

The economy is highly dependent on agriculture and cattle raising.

The name Baviácora is a transliteration of the Opata word "babícori," the mint that grows along the Río Sonora.

Before this, in 1639, the Opata had been conquered by the Spanish general Pedro de Perea.
