Guadalupe Arizona Tourism

Guadalupe is nestled between Phoenix and Tempe.

Since its founding, it has been known as a center of Yaqui culture and it is home to many religious festivals. Respectful visitors are welcome to observe these ceremonies, although photography is forbidden.

The Yaqui Indians escaped from Mexico at the turn of the century in order to evade persecution under the rule of Porifirio Diaz, who sought to exile them to tropical Yucatan. Among other villages, the Yaqui established Guadalupe that was named after the Virgin of Guadalupe, patroness saint of Mexico.
