Perhaps
no individual has left a more indelible impact on the cuisine, culture,
commerce and customs of southern Arizona and Sonora, Mexico than 17th
–century Jesuit priest Father Euesbio Francisco Kino. Indefatigable
explorer, humanitarian, and Renaissance man, Kino was beloved by the
Pimans among whom he spent 24 years.
On
this full-day tour to Sonora, Mexico, ethnographer, historian and author
Thomas E. Sheridan will transport us back to Father Kino’s time to
appreciate the hardships and legacy of this intrepid padre. Our luxury
motorcoach will provide present day vistas of the deserts, mountains and
river valleys where Kino labored.

We’ll
journey to Magdalena, Sonora to visit the church and Kino rotunda, where
Kino is buried. Then onward to the pueblo and spectacular mission church
at Tubutama, in the Altar Valley of Sonora. On our return we’ll visit
the delightful mission at San Ignacio noted for it’s carved doors and
circular mesquite-log staircase.
