Your flight to sunny Phoenix takes you to Arizona’s desert city, and the USA’s fifth biggest city, where the Hohokam farmed the land as early as 300 BC. Visit the White House, perched on a hill, and the Phoenix Art Museum with its 16,000 artworks.
Explore the Native American cultures of the South-West at Phoenix’s Heard Museum with its art, sculpture and activities. Explore the heart of Phoenix at Copper Square with its live entertainments, sports venues, restaurants and more.
For some quiet time, head to Phoenix’s Desert Botanical Garden, or the Garden of Jesus' Suffering and Resurrection. Or hike to the Kartchner Caverns State Park (120 miles south of Phoenix) for hummingbirds and caves.
Locals in Phoenix love Mexican cuisine. Try corn tortillas and pinto beans for an unpretentious meal. Or sample foods from the desert – the jicama legume and cactus, cooked in various ways, washed down with pinole, made from the mesquite shrub. |
