Horseback Rides
December – April
Horseback rides return to the resort for a limited time. Horseback ride prices start from $50pp. To book your ride today, visit Tattered Saddle. Rides are held on-property at our horse stables located before our tennis courts.
Elf Hunt Adventure
Holiday magic has arrived at El Conquistador Tucson. Santa’s elves have traded the North Pole for Tucson sunshine, and now they’re scattered throughout the resort. Instead of wrapping presents, they’ve been enjoying a little desert vacation. Help Santa find his elves before Christmas Eve, and you may receive a special surprise from the North Pole.
This festive adventure is exclusive to overnight guests.
