Learn about the natural history of the region as you explore the remarkable Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum—discovering the plants, land animals, and aquatic species that call this region home.

Make your own arrangements for travel to Arizona and to our first hotel. VBT offers a shuttle that departs from Tucson International Airport at 1:30 p.m. The shuttle works on a “show and go” basis. Reservations are not required. I will also be looking at the option of flying into Phoenix and catching a shuttle to the hotel near Tucson. Flights to Phoenix may be less expensive and more frequent. I may try to arrange a group shuttle from Phoenix.
