About Ajo

Tucked into the Sonoran Desert against the Little Ajo Mountains, Ajo is a quiet former mining town with a colorful Spanish Colonial plaza at its heart. Located about forty miles north of the Mexican border, it serves as the gateway to Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument. Today, it draws a mix of artists, retirees, and locals looking for starry skies, affordable desert living, and a tight-knit, slow-paced community.
