Terrain: Mostly flat and rolling with a long, steady rise all the way to Arivaca. The area around Arivaca is especially hilly. These short, choppy hills begin on Arivaca Road. After you leave Arivaca, you'll head further south toward Nogales before you turn back north and visit Arizona's wine country in Patagonia and Sonoita.
