Tumacácori National Historical Park
Things To Do
 

Tumacácori Mission Grounds

Visitors to Tumacácori enter the park through the visitor center. Staffed by Park Service employees and volunteers, the museum and bookstore provide orientation and a wealth of information. A fifteen minute video is available in the museum, started at any time by the push of a button. 

A self guiding tour book for the Tumacácori Mission grounds can be bought or borrowed in the bookstore.  Tours led by a park ranger or volunteer are available at some times of the year.

Children of all ages enjoy participating in the park's Junior Ranger program during their visit.

Allow one to two hours for plenty of time to tour both the mission grounds and the museum. All areas are accessible by paved foot paths. There are no roads in the park.

Anza Trail

The Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail passes through the park, providing opportunities for walkers, bird watchers, and equestrians.  A free informational trail map for the popular 4.5 mile stretch of trail between Tumacácori and Tubac is available in the visitor center.
