If you’re in the mood for a secluded adventure, look no further than Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge. Tucked away in the middle-of-nowhere town of Sasabe near the Arizona-Mexico border, this little-known oasis is one of the most remote national wildlife refuges in Arizona. Hike, take a scenic drive, camp, and get up close and personal with majestic wildlife. It’s one of the most peaceful nature experiences you’ll ever have!
Located just about 10 miles from the Arizona-Mexico border, Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge is about as remote of a place as you could imagine.
Amenities include fire rings, clean restrooms, and shaded picnic tables at the Arivaca Cienega Trailhead.
