Visite à pied des origines de Tucson

Aperçu

*Featured in the New York Times' 52 Places to Go in 2023 & Time Magazine's The World’s Greatest Places of 2023*

Learn about the origins of one of the most important cities of the American Southwest, Tucson on this cultural heritage itinerary.

Walking downtown Tucson’s El Presidio and the Barrio Viejo districts, we will explore the history and architecture of the community through the themes of the Native American, Spanish colonial, Mexican, and American Territorial eras, and also explain Tucson’s UNESCO designation as a City of Gastronomy.

This is an opportunity to discover what makes Tucson such a unique and special place that forms part of America's tapestry.

A former National Park ranger leads this tour with a background in historic preservation and heritage interpretation in the southwest. I have also worked on the effort to make the Barrio Viejo neighborhood a National Historic Landmark and at the nearby historic mission of Tumacacori National Historical Park.

À quoi s'attendre

Presidio San Agustin del Tucson

Step back in time to the earthen adobe fortress of Tucson founded in 1775 by the Spanish. We will learn about the Indigenous, Spanish Colonial, and Mexican cultural heritage of Tucson at this museum.

Pima County Courthouse

We'll visit and learn about the architecture of the beautiful and historic Pima County Courthouse, travel back in time in the Plaza de Armas, and take a moment to reflect on the January 8 memorial.

Barrio Historico

We'll go on an urban hike through the historic quarter of Tucson, the Barrio Viejo. Where we will visit is only a third of the size of the original community that was spared the wrecking ball of "urban renewal." We will discuss the only regional as opposed to national and international architectural styles present here. The only example left north of the border in the Sonoran Desert. You'll find out how Tucson got its name and get to know what is said to be the only shrine on unconsecrated ground in the United States.

Presidio San Agustín del Tucson

Remontez dans le temps jusqu'à la forteresse en pisé de Tucson fondée en 1775 par les Espagnols. Nous découvrirons le patrimoine culturel autochtone, colonial espagnol et mexicain de Tucson dans ce musée.

Palais de justice du comté de Pima

Nous visiterons et découvrirons l'architecture du magnifique et historique palais de justice du comté de Pima, remonterons le temps sur la Plaza de Armas et prendrons un moment pour réfléchir au mémorial du 8 janvier.

Quartier historique

Nous ferons une randonnée urbaine dans le quartier historique de Tucson, le Barrio Viejo. L'endroit que nous visiterons ne représente qu'un tiers de la taille de la communauté d'origine qui a été épargnée par le boulet de démolition du "renouveau urbain". Nous discuterons des seuls styles architecturaux régionaux par opposition aux styles architecturaux nationaux et internationaux présents ici. Le seul exemple qui reste au nord de la frontière dans le désert de Sonora. Vous découvrirez comment Tucson a obtenu son nom et découvrirez ce qui serait le seul sanctuaire sur un terrain non consacré aux États-Unis.

We thoroughly enjoyed the "Tucson Gastronomy tour" of the Barrio Viejo neighborhood. Strolling amongst the colorful adobe houses, brewpubs and Mexican cantinas and offered so much detailed information about everything, architecture, culture, food, local history. We are super excited to book with Alex on the Borderlandia "Mexico City" tour, knowing it will surely be a great adventure. Can't recommend this highly enough!
