Sahuarita, AZ

Sahuarita lies in the Sonoran Desert about 20 miles south of Tucson on Interstate 19, making it a convenient stop between Arizona's second city and the Mexican border. I-19 connects directly to Tucson in 25 minutes, while Route 83 heads east toward wine country. The town serves as a suburban community for Tucson commuters and a rest point for border travelers. You can tour an actual working copper mine 1,500 feet underground at the ASARCO Mineral Discovery Center.
