Touring Arizona 2019-20

Arizona is one of the most popular destination for tourism in the United States. Known as the Grand Canyon State, its landscapes offer incredible majesty and beauty. The Grand Canyon is just one of the many natural marvels in the state. Then there is the long human history. Arizona is home to more Native American people than any other state, many of them still living traditional lives on their tribal lands. The Spanish history dates back to the late 16th century and played such a major role in molding the human landscape. And as an American state, Arizona had a "Wild West" history of cowboys, gunslingers and miners. Today its population is more urban and becoming quite sophisticated, yet it presents its long history and natural beauty as offerings to visitors, making it a highly desirable destination.
