Sáric is a small town and the municipal area (municipio) around it, located in the extreme north of the Mexican state of Sonora. Its northern boundary is the U.S. state of Arizona. The population of the municipality (urban and rural areas) was 2,486 in 2005 living in an area of 1,676.23 square kilometers. The elevation is around 800 meters.

Boundaries are with the U.S. state of Arizona to the north; Nogales, Sonora, to the east; Tubutama to the south; Altar to the west; and Magdalena de Kino to the southeast.

The only settlements were Sáric, El Sásabe, and Cierro Priento, all with fewer than 1,000 inhabitants.There is an international border crossing leading to Sasabe, Arizona.

The land is high desert with extreme temperatures in the summer months. The Altar River has its source north of the municipality in the Arizona mountains and flows south.

The desert lands are poor and agriculture can only be practiced in the Altar River valley where wheat, corn, alfalfa, sorghum, and rye grass are grown. Extensive cattle raising is carried out.
