The Santa Cruz Valley is a lush strip of riparian habitat where a diversity of forests and prime pasture, trace the banks of the Santa Cruz River as it flows north toward Tucson, where it disappears underground.

The southern part of the Santa Cruz Valley rises into canyon-rich mountains with vast bajadas of grassy highlands.

The beauty and weather bring a diversity of people and businesses to the Valley and the villages surrounding.

Many artists crave the ever-changing light of this region.

Tubac is the where you should base your adventures.
