Hermosillo - Post Report Question and Answers

Is this a "shopping post"? Are there interesting handicrafts, artwork, antiques, or other items that people typically buy there?

No, not really. There are wood carvings, but I was hoping for more art like rugs or baskets. - Sep 2022

Nada. If you travel to other parts of Mexico you can find a lot of stuff. - Aug 2015


There isn't much in the way of local items other than made-to-order cowboy boots and ironwood carvings. You can get other Mexican crafts in San Carlos, but they are priced at a tourist rate. There is some copper in Imuris on the way to Tucson. - Apr 2013
