Old Pueblo Chapter (Tucson)

The Old Pueblo Chapter of American Pilgrims is centered in Tucson, Arizona. This chapter covers the southern area of the state including Green Valley, Marana, Oro Valley, Corona de Tucson and Vail.

The purpose of local chapters is to keep participants connected to the Camino and to introduce new people to it.

• To support the goals of American Pilgrims on the Camino
• To encourage membership in the parent organization
• To provide opportunities for pilgrims, past, present and future to gather and to hold events related to and promoting the Camino de Santiago
• To mentor future pilgrims
• To hopefully serve as a local host for hospitalero training in southern Arizona
