The Sierra of the time zone is part of the Sierra Madre Occidental, which can be appreciated in this region of Mexico. It is not only a place where you can unleash adventure but also a cradle of ancestral traditions since indigenous tribes such as the Huichol, Coras, Tepehuanos, and Mexicaneros inhabited this area.

What can you find when visiting the Sierra of the time zone? To begin with, you must know it is an extensive territory, as it is part of the Sierra Madre Occidental, where mountains represent more than 80 percent of the surface. Therefore, it is a mountainous terrain. As a continuation of the mountain range of the United States and Canada, in Mexico, it spans parts of the states of Chihuahua and Sonora, reaching Nayarit.
