Desert Experience

The Sonoran Desert is an enchanting setting filled with hardy and fascinating creatures as well as an abundance of plants, all of which have adapted to the dry desert conditions. One's first impression is that the environment is too lush be be in the middle of one of the world's great deserts. If your image of the desert is of endless sand dunes devoid of life, you are in for a pleasant surprise at Ventana.

You can't escape it.

Whether you seek out the ultimate desert experience by walking or hiking Ventana's myriad of nature trails or choose to relax poolside, you will experience the desert firsthand. Desert critters are everywhere, on the golf course, along the trails and even on the streets and sidewalks, where they exist. Couple that with the lush Sonoran vegetation and the hot, dry weather and you have an unforgettable year-round environment. A special treat is in store for those with the opportunity to walk in the desert after it rains, when the chapparal give off an enticing aroma and you can sense nature's process of refreshment.
