New Mexico - Poblanos, Peaks & Pueblos Adventure

Ancient cliff dwellings, art studios and the fabulous fare of the Enchanted Circle
From Santa Fe to Taos and the Rio Grande, enjoy the best of the authentic Old Southwest on this 6-day New Mexico adventure.

Hike through Bandelier National Monument along pink mesas, sheer-walled canyons and Frijoles Creek to the ~600 year-old ruins of Tyuonyi and Tsankawi pueblos. Climb a ladder into a hillside cliff dwelling and learn about ancient petroglyphs and Puebloan culture from a native guide. Bike to the sleepy town of Arroyo Seco and along the banks of the Rio Grande. Paddle Big Rock, the Narrows and Souse Hole rapids and trek through Carson National Forest along the Gavilan Trail. Explore Taos's historic pueblo - continuously inhabited for over 1,000 years - and browse the hip art studios of Santa Fe. By night, savor some of New Mexico's finest cuisine and relax in the comfort of your renowned inn or casa.
