Welcome to Santa Cruz Valley.com - An Unofficial Visitors Guide to the ARIZONA towns and cities of Sahuarita, Green Valley, Amado, Tubac, Tumacacori, Rio Rico, Nogales, Arivaca, Patagonia, Sonoita, and Elgin

This site will preview many of the towns and cities in the Santa Cruz Valley, in Southern Arizona. The Santa Cruz Valley is rich in history, culture, wildlife, and one of the most beautiful places on earth. The Santa Cruz Valley Heritage Alliance (no affiliation) includes towns and cities as far north as Marana (their Santa Cruz River overpass is beautiful), Catalina, and Tucson. These places are in and very much connected to the history of the Santa Cruz River Valley, though at this time on and on this site we will feature only those places listed from San Xavier del Bac Mission (just south of the Tucson city limits) to Nogales; and also east to Elgin and west to Arivaca. For information on Tucson, you can visit DiscoverTucson.org, though we will feature Tucson slideshows below. Enjoy our hundreds of photos of the Santa Cruz Valley below.

From Tucson, it is an easy and beautiful drive south on I-19 to Green Valley, and then on down to visit the old mission at Tumacácori National Historical Park. The frontage road from Tubac to Tumacacori is an easy way to get to Carmen and Tumacacori. On the other side of the Santa Rita Mountains and San Cayetano Mountains, down Highway 82, is ARIZONA'S WINE COUNTRY - Sonoita - Elgin, and Patagonia. Traveling south on Highway 82, from Patagonia, you will enter Nogales, Arizona's Gateway to Mexico.
