Arizona is a melting pot of cultures beginning with the prehistoric inhabitants of the area and moving through native tribes and Spanish explorers. Clients can view the heritage at historic sites, museums and archaeological digs around the state. Natural Resources Boasting a movie-backdrop landscape, Arizona offers natural attractions and adventure in one of the world’s most varied and beautiful playgrounds. Snaking its way 443 kilometres across the desert, Arizona’s Grand Canyon is the main attraction in northern Arizona. This vast, multi-hued chasm receives more than five million guests a year, while the red sandstone spires of Monument Valley pierce the sky on the Navajo Nation Reservation. At the other end of the state, the grottoes of Kartchner Caverns State Park descend underground and the eroded volcanic spires of Chiricahua National Monument reach for the sky.
