What's Not To Love
The history and culture of New Mexico is undeniable! The architecture, the food, and the weather are just a few reasons to love NM and it all starts here. Santa Fe! One of the most charming cities around that you’ll find yourself coming back time and time again to explore new things and old alike. Santa Fe is the capital of the land of enchantment and draws people from all over the state, country, and world to tour its landscape and wonder.
With a population of just under 90,000, the city has every modern amenity available, art galore, and is an outdoor enthusiast’s dream! A recent addition and draw is the other dimensional house of eternal return that was created and built by some of today’s most creative minds and artists. You would be hard-pressed to find anyone who hasn’t heard of Meow Wolf, an immersive art experience, spawned from the imagination of George R.R. Martin (creator of Game of Thrones)
Sant Fe is rich with culture dating hundreds of years back, and it shows throughout the city. Especially while visiting the ever-so-majestic Santa Fe Plaza where you are likely to see a car show, pop into a renowned art gallery, hear the church bells ring across the center, sip on some local wine, and don’t you dare forget to have something with Red or Green Chile!!
Must Do's
Eat! Art! Stroll!
Santa Fe is wonderful and while talking about it, let’s not forget the food! Oh the food, some of the world’s top chefs have claimed territory here to serve up their finest cuisine. So if it’s an Allsup’s burrito you crave you’ve got it (who are we kidding, everyone craves them) but if your mouth also starts watering at the thought of a tender filet mignon with a side of sweet mashed potatoes topped with red chile then you’re also in luck.
Santa Fe is also home to the oldest craft breweries in all of New Mexico and their beer is delicious. Santa Fe Brewing Co. is the grandfather brewery that paved the way for the craft beer explosion that has hit New Mexico over the last couple of decades. You’re likely to recognize their signature yellow can with a red Zia in places where beer is sold across the united states.

Santa Fe is also home to some of the best art galleries and shopping in the united states. Whether you are an avid art collector or thrift store enthusiast there is a treasure to be found to fit every budget and it all starts in the Plaza. Even if your goal is to simply take in the architecture and do some window shopping, it is well worth the visit! Check out a few other stops to make while in and around Santa Fe:
Get Outside!
In fall, winter, summer, or spring Santa Fe reigns supreme when it comes to outdoor activities. If you love yellow aspens in the fall, hitting the slopes in the winter, or relaxing in hot springs we guarantee there is something here for everyone. Don’t worry you can always keep the adventure low-key or explore the multiple hikes scattered through the mountains, which by the way have a beautiful ski basin at the top.
