Heroica Ciudad de Cananea, Mining city in Sonora, Mexico.
Located at an elevation of 1,620 meters in northeastern Sonora, Heroica Ciudad de Cananea extends across mountain terrain near the United States border.
The city gained prominence in 1906 when copper miners initiated a labor strike that influenced workers' rights movements throughout Mexico.
Modern Cananea maintains strong connections to mining traditions, with local museums displaying artifacts and photographs from decades of mineral extraction.
Visitors can reach the city through Mexican Federal Highway 2, connecting directly to major transportation routes between Mexico and Arizona.
The municipality contains numerous mountain peaks suitable for hiking, including Cerro El Caro reaching 2,104 meters in elevation.
