About Tucson

Tucson, just 118 miles from Arizona's capital city of Phoenix, is a growing metropolis of just over a million people. Yet, it retains much of the breathtaking natural beauty that can be found only in the Southwest. Tucson is just 60 miles from Mexico and celebrates its unique blending of various cultures, including American and Mexican but also Spanish and Native American. Attractions include Gates Pass with its scenic sunsets and scenic views of saguaro cactus forests, the International Wildlife Museum and the nearby Arizona-Sonora National Desert Museum with its preservation of indigenous flora and fauna.
