Situated in the heart of Hermosillo, the state capital of Sonora, the Cerro de la Campana is the rocky hill station that is the central attraction in the city. This attraction is the icon and symbol of grandeur in the city because by heading at its peak, the visitors will get the chance to sightsee some of the breathtaking and panoramic views of the beautiful land. Due to its panoramic viewpoints, the rocky hill station is also renowned as the City of the Sun because from this point the visitors can see beautiful sunsets and sunrises.
If this attraction is observed from the east to west direction, it appears as the shape of a bell. Also, the shape of the attraction is representative of the phonolites that are generally prevalent in the area. These phonolites or rocks, when struck together, produce a metallic sound that of a bell.
Inaugurated in 1909, this rocky hill station soon became an important viewpoint of the city. So, the significant areas that the visitors can sightsee and speculate from the top include the California Street in the east, in the south there is the Boulevard Serna, in the north, there is the No Reeleccion Avenue, and in the west, they can sightsee the expansive Par Vial Rosales-Pino Suárez. Although there are many other notable streets surrounding the rocky hill station, they are difficult to sightsee from the top.
As the visitors speculate the breathtaking view of the city from the top, they also love to take keepsake photographs of the immersive, beautiful scenery that locks the transient beauty in the form of memorable images. The idea of taking in such a beautiful view is relaxing in itself and what makes the whole time spend worth appreciating is that there is a pleasant encapsulated coffee shop at the top. So, while sipping warming coffee, the experience becomes even more enjoyable.
Moreover, this attraction is a nice place to have some family fun and enjoying a picnic. The sunset and the soft breeze brushing against your skin and hair makes the experience enlightening. Also, in these pleasant surroundings, early morning walks are mostly preferred by visitors. These walks make their minds light and initiate the mood for a productive day. In the afternoons, the attraction is rarely crowded and is empty as the blazing heat and scorching sunlight would make the visitors sick and dizzy.
