Tucson, is a small city located in the south of Ar

Arrive in bus from los Angeles, I carry me some as many hours, but is a form to know the landscape of the zone. It lodge me in a hotel in the center, I believe that is the unique one in its type. The to play me charm, is like a typical town, with almost everything that is needed to pass it well. One of them they traveled through that but me flavor was that of the University of Tucson that very is recognized to academic level. Is respected one of the main public universities of investigation to national level. The University of Arizona has more than 600 clubs and student organizations there are museums, churches, libraries, cafes, dormitories. It is located to less to the north of the border with Mexico. It is situated in a desert and flat valley surrounded by dry and rough mountains. The climate in Tucson is always dry with temperatures that vary of tepid to extremely hot. The city normally receives less than 25 cm of rain to the year. The temperatures during the day can exceed the 45 degrees C during the summer, with some a lot more pleasant from 20 to 25 degrees C during the winter. The high season of tourism extends from November until March. The Autumn and the Spring are very good epochs to visit this area if wants to avoid the large quantities of tourists. The desert that surrounds to the city is full of gigantic saguaros that pass the 10 meters of height. It can conduct its car through true forests of these cactus or to go on a trip the many roads of the Park National Saguaro located on the outskirts of the city. The Museum of the Deserted one Sonorense of Arizona, located as to some 24 km to the west of the city, near Ord Tucson in the entada south of the National Park Saguaro, is a great place to appreciate the flora and the fauna of the desert and the admission has a cost of $9 dollars.

Old Tucson is a town that simulates one of the west, originally was built as setting for a movie of cattlemen. Nowadays is a theme park with entertainment, restaurants, stores of articles for gift and many actors you dressed in disguises of the old west. The admission has a cost of $15 dollars. A visit to this tourist park to the style cattleman can turn out to be very amusing, but be chirped that Tombstone is a lot more authentic.
