The state has a strong Hispanic flavour and you’ll have ample opportunities to practice your Spanish and enjoy Hispanic cuisine.

Things to do in Arizona:

One of the Natural Wonders of the World; the Grand Canyon is best seen from the air. Helicopter or scenic flights will leave you speechless.

The engineering wonder of the Hoover Dam is a truly fascinating achievement to marvel at. The Dam marks the Nevada border.

Train buffs are in for a treat with a Grand Canyon Railway Adventure. The vintage train is as much the attraction as the unforgettable vistas.

Snaketown, the Hohokam Pima Indian village built into a cliff face is a lost world protected for its archaeological value and utter amazement.

Navajo Indian arts and crafts are a great reminder of your visit to their reservation as part of a Grand Canyon tour.
