| Ajo is a delightful, small town near the Mexico Border, which combines a taste of latin flavor with the warm Arizona sun & a rich history. Ajo is the birthplace of copper mining in Arizona.
With a population of about 3000, Ajo (pronounced ah-ho) more than doubles during the winter months. Northern visitors come back year after year.
The hub of the community is a historic & stunning plaza. Tall date palms & two beautiful churches with mission style architecture surround the Plaza. The outlying area has many scenic attractions with unusual beauty. Visitors can take tours into Mexico to sample a very different & enjoyable lifestyle. |
