TRAVEL + LEISURE

Newest Wonders of the World includes El Pinacate and Gran Desierto de Altar Biosphere Reserve, Mexico

 

Desert bighorn sheep, black-tailed jackrabbits, Gila monsters, and the endangered Sonoran pronghorn all survive among the sand, cinders, and playas of this 1.75-million-acre reserve. The dramatic landscape includes 10 enormous, nearly perfectly circular craters, sand dunes that reach up to 650 feet, and granite massifs that rise 2,000 feet from the desert floor.
