Palace of the Governors Indian Market
This market has been open for over 100 years and still operates under its original guidelines—only handmade wares from members of local pueblo tribes.
This 'best in class' history museum tells the story of this unique American landscape and of her diverse cultures.
Break for Lunch
We have a break in our schedule to allow participants to explore the numerous and delightful restaurants surrounding Santa Fe’s plaza
It is hard to imagine an artist more identified with a place than Georgia O’Keeffe is with Santa Fe and its surrounding landscape as we will see when we visit this renowned museum just steps from the plaza
Museum Hill
There’s a reason it’s called Museum Hill. There are five wonderful museum collections on one campus just up the way from Canyon Road, each more wonderful than the next. We’ve had to pick one—The Museum of Indian Arts and Culture—for our group visit but we do plan to stick around for a bit to allow you to visit one or two more museums.
FRIDAY, APRIL 29
Taos and The High Road
We take the high road to Taos and begin with a tour of the Taos Pueblo a UNESCO World Heritage site and the oldest continuously inhabited structure in North America. We move on to view our first mission church the San Francisco de Assisi Mission Church in Ranchos de Taos. We then travel along the High Road with a stop at Nuestra Señora del Rosario Church in Truchas. Our final stop of the day is the pilgrimage church at Chimayo—El Santuario de Chimayó.
SATURDAY, APRIL 30
We begin our last morning together here at what many consider one of the best farmers’ markets in the country because, in addition to mind-blowing gorgeous fruits and vegetables, the market is considered a go-to place for great local crafts and gifts.
To cap our time in Santa Fe, we take a tour Santa Fe’s dynamic contemporary art museum.
OPEN AFTERNOON
Scoot back up to Museum Hill, stroll Canyon Road or shop around the plaza, this afternoon is yours until our late afternoon meet-up at one of Santa Fe’s oldest watering holes, El Farol…
