Located at the foot of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains where the high desert meets the ponderosa pine, Santa Fe enjoys a dry, sunny, but mild climate. It is also well known as a centre of art and culture.

This nine-day tour begins in Albuquer- que, where we spend our first two nights. While in Albuquerque we will enjoy a half-day guided sightseeing tour and free time to explore the city’s museums and shops.

Travelling by bus from Albuquerque to Santa Fe, we pass through the beauti- ful Cibola National Forest, stopping at Sandia Peak, with the world’s longest tramway where, from the summit, we can experience incredible 360-degree panoramic views.

Our stay in Santa Fe includes admission to four of the season’s world-class opera productions at the beautiful outdoor the- atre. As well, there will be ample time for you to visit some of the many museums, shops, art galleries, and studios.
