Trail Construction ongoing at the historic Tumacácori Mission site
A new accessible trail is being built around the mission. Due to heavy equipment and construction activities, detours and partial closures exist. Associated dust, noise, and potential trip hazards will be present through the end of May.
Always Changing - Forever the Same
More than a tale of adobe, plaster, and wood, these ruins evoke stories of life and land transformed by cultures meeting and mixing. Father Kino’s 1691 landmark visit to an O’odham village when he established Mission Tumacácori was just one event among many. Wave after wave of change has swept or crept across this realm - this land and its people are not static. Visit and experience this heritage.
