🇲🇽 CÓCORIT & ESPERANZA, SONORA - For Part 14 of my 2022 Mexico Travel Series we are still based in Ciudad Obregón in the state of Sonora in Northern Mexico, but this time we’re heading out of the town to one of the local Yaqui towns (an indigenous people in Mexico) called Cócocit as well as it’s neighbour, the pretty regular town of Esperanza. Are these two of Mexico’s most peaceful small towns? (pueblitos)



Cócocit has history in relation to the Yaqui, an indigenous group stretching all the way up to Arizona. They do a deer dance symbolising the relationship between nature and people. I went on a Monday afternoon (purposely) when it was extremely quiet, obviously going at the weekend would have been better if I had wanted to see people or go to the museum. Despite that, I cover some of the things to do in Cócorit.


We have some classic comida Mexicana (Mexican food) - Obispos, a cross between nieves and raspados. We also get a sense of what small towns in Mexico are like!


If you’re thinking of becoming an expat in Mexico or moving to Mexico, northern Mexico is an option! Don’t just think Guanajuato is your only option! Is Mexico safe? Is Mexico dangerous? Nowhere is safe!
