Bordered by the Santa Rita and Tumacacori mountain ranges where shifting shadows, towering peaks and deep ravines reflect the diverse cultures of the people who have lived here for over 11,000 years. In these stunning mysterious mountains myths of hidden treasures, “disappearing” places, rivers that run up, ancient petroglyphs and the cry "Geronimo” continues to capture the imagination of artists, adventurers, hikers and writers.

Spaniards first arrived in 1691 established missions and later, in 1752, the first Presidio town of Tubac which is now a vibrant and popular art colony. The rich and colorful blend of Native American, Spanish Colonial, Mexican, and Anglo cultures is still present to visitors who come to enjoy the galleries, old ruins, architecture and the clean high desert air of this valley. Here, it seems the sky is larger and the stars shine brighter and in the stillness of an evening when in the distance the coyotes sing their songs, it is possible to remember our place in the universe.
