Camino de Tucson

The Camino de Tucson is a 4-day, 40-mile guided walk across Tucson. It begins on the far southwest side of the city in the San Xavier District of the Tohono O'odham Nation, passes through both the City of Tucson and City of South Tucson, across the University of Arizona campus, into historic neighborhoods and parks, and ends at the Fort Lowell Park & Museum.

We are a Tucson-based organization that seeks to cultivate a pilgrimage path across Tucson that tells the historical, spiritual, and cultural stories that make Tucson special, and to invite reflection on the sacred connections in our city.

FAQs

1. Can I join just 1 day of the pilgrimage?

Yes. We will offer single-day stages as well as the full 4-day pilgrimage. You are welcome to join any stage that works for your schedule, simply register for the appropriate event date when those links are available.

2 Does it cost anything to join a walk?

No. There is no cost to join any of the walks but participants are expected to provide their own equipment, water, meals etc. In the future, there may be charges for those who participate in group pilgrimages to cover meals, overnight hosting etc.

3 Is there a specific spiritual component to the walks?

Kind of. While anyone of any background or belief (or non-belief) is invited and welcome to join, this pilgrimage is formed and inspired by Christian Contemplative practices and scriptures are included in our daily information guides. Participants can engage with these elements to the degree they wish, or none at all. Furthermore, our approach is not to push a certain belief, but rather to offer the stories of our city and to invite reflection and questions related to the sacred.

4. Are you affiliated with other orgatnizations?

No. While we hope to learn from and take inspiration from similar organizations, we have no official affiliation or connetion to any other organization.

5. Logistics - how exactly does this work?

Ideally, you just show up and walk with us. Details regarding car-pooling, restroom breaks, and lunch arrangements will be communicated directly with groups prior to each stage. Each stage is approximately 10 miles in length and walks will begin in the mornings and end in early afternoon each day. Several of the days will include the option to explore a local site or museum at the end of the stage (participants are responsible for their own entry fee).
