Your Vacation Guide to

SANTA FE, NEW MEXICO

The colors of the Southwest come alive in Santa Fe,

New Mexico. Rolling deserts are dotted with seasonal

blossoms that pop amongst sand tones. Desert

landscapes aren’t the only views, with lush forests of

juniper, aspen, and pine thriving and calling visitors

for a nature hike or outdoor adventure. With Santa

Fe’s high altitude comes 320 days a year of sunshine,

beaming across the terrain and soaking into its ancient

pores. The winter brings snowy topography and an

atmosphere perfect for skiing and snowboarding on the

mountain ranges. Whatever season, Santa Fe has an

adventure waiting.

Sister inns El Farolito and Four Kachinas offer two

distinct locations just two blogs from each other in the

downtown historic district of Santa Fe, New Mexico.

El Farolito’s eight unique guest rooms and casitas

allow relaxation in the privacy of your own room or

fresh air in the sun-dappled garden courtyards and

patios. The intimate lounge area features local art

and a wood burning fireplace for a cozy setting. With

six rooms, Four Kachinas is similarly furnished and

suited for rejuvenation and comfort. Both bed and

breakfasts offer proximity to several Santa Fe activities

and attractions, many of which we’ve featured in our

Vacation Guide for your convenience.

If you are seeking outdoor sports and activities to experience the peaceful

beauty of the area and breathe some of the cleanest air in the country,

Fe-based activity operators to organize a trouble-free outdoor experience.

New Mexico is one of the oldest wine producing regions in America. Spanish

missionaries planted the first vines in the Rio Grande Valley in southern New

Mexico in the late 16th century. Today, wine grapes are grown in many small

family-owned vineyards mostly in the Rio Grande valley from north of Santa Fe to

southern New Mexico in the Las Cruces region.
