About Saguaro National Park

The Saguaro cactus, a symbol of the American West, only grows in the Sonoran Desert. Saguaro National Park, located on both sides of Tucson, protects these unique plants. With around 1.6 million saguaro cacti, the park offers a unique opportunity for families to witness these giant cacti against the backdrop of a stunning desert sunset. It’s a must-visit for an unforgettable experience!
