Time Off

Tucson is a fascinating blend of multi-cultural heritage and a modern business economy that you would expect from Arizona's second and oldest city. Native American, Spanish and Mexican influences are prevalent in architectural styles, ethnic crafts and local Southwestern cuisine. The majestic Saguaro cactus dominates the desert landscape, particularly within Saguaro National Park, east and west of the metropolitan area. Tucson is the ideal base from which to explore legendary Old West towns like Tombstone, the historic Mission San Xavier del Bac on Tohono O'ódham Reservation, or venture across the Mexican border to Nogales.
