Begin your tour with a visit to the "White Dove of the Desert," San Xavier Mission Del Bac.  Built by the Jesuits from 1783 to 1797, San Xavier was established by the "Padre on Horseback," Father Kino.  San Xavier is acclaimed as the finest example of mission architecture in the country.  Standing stark white on the desert landscape, the Mission still serves as an active spiritual center and resides on the Tohono O’odham reservation. 
 
Our next stop is Tubac, which in 1853 became part of the United States. This village is rich in art and history, and with over 80 unique businesses and working studios, Tubac offers a wide variety of shopping possibilities. From sterling silver, western apparel, gourmet gifts, Native American jewelry and crafts, to original fine art and prints by popular southwestern artists, these nationally known shops will delight your guests.
