Huatabampo's main activities are agriculture and industrial fishing.
The
territory was originally habitated by the Mayo indians. In 1614 jesuit
missionaries Pedro Mendéz and Diego de la Cruz and
Captain Diego Martínez de Iturbide founded alongside the Mayo River the
towns of la Misión del Mayo. One of them was Santa Cruz, located where
Huatabampo is today.
Huatabampo
is located at the southern part of the state.
More than 7
kilometers of beautiful virgin beaches bathe the coastline of Huatabampo,
beaches with fine sand, blue water and spectacular sundowns. We recomnd a
visit to Huatabampito beach and to the Port of Yaváros.
During the first months
of the year whales coming from cold waters come to the Sea of
Cortez
to mate and have their cachalotes.The coast
line of Huatabampo offers this unique opportunity to whale watchers and
photographers.
