  • Day 1 Arrive Santa Fe, New Mexico
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Arrive Santa Fe, New Mexico

      Get ready to touch down in the โ€œLand of Enchantmentโ€.  New Mexico is abundant in diverse culture, rich history and captivating natural beauty. Itโ€™s also home to the largest, most photographed ballooning event on earth, Albuquerqueโ€™s International Balloon Fiesta. Weโ€™ll experience the magic of hundreds of balloons floating gracefully above the New Mexico landscape during our stay. The festivities begin tonight at a Welcome Reception with your fellow travelers. 

  • Day 2 Santa Fe
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Santa Fe

      After breakfast at our hotel, weโ€™ll visit the oldest art museum in the state, the New Mexico Museum of Art. Built in 1917, the structure itself is considered a masterpiece of Pueblo Revival and is home to works by notable artists such as Georgia Oโ€™Keefe. Next, youโ€™ll have time for lunch on your own before visiting the Miraculous Staircase at the Loretto Chapel. Three mysteries surround the intriguing spiral staircase, the identity of its builder, the type of wood used and the physics of its construction, seemingly without center support. Dinner tonight is a feast for the senses as we visit the Santa Fe School of Cooking. Bring home some new culinary skills as an expert chef prepares and serves a delicious southwest meal for us with a live demonstration.
