Santa Fe & Taos Heritage Tour
Adventure into the cultural and geographical tapestry of northern New Mexico, where the desert Southwest meets the Rocky Mountains on this Hispanic heritage trip.
We will follow the historic El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro to uncover how this region became the northern frontier of the Spanish empire as early as the sixteenth century. When we arrive, you’ll experience the regional cuisine, explore New Mexico's history, visit Santa Fe’s renowned museums, and travel north for a day trip to Chimayo and Taos.
You’re invited to travel comfortably with an intimate group alongside a dedicated guide and driver who will take you through scenic landscapes rising in elevation to the state’s historic capital of Santa Fe from Tucson and back, interpreting the region's history, geography, and culture.
This journey goes beyond the surface, guided by public historian Alex La Pierre. With years of experience working with the National Park Service in Arizona and New Mexico, Alex brings history to life, sharing his in-depth knowledge of the region’s culture and expertise in adobe preservation.
Leave the time and hassle of travel planning to us, you are invited to learn in place and have a lot of fun on this special excursion to northern New Mexico.
