the Palace of the Governors (whose occupants have included government and military leaders from
Spain, Mexico, the Confederacy, the U.S. and Indian nations). Learn about St. Francis Cathedral,
and explore the Loretto Chapel and its miraculous staircase; the oldest church; the capitol, and

Wednesday, November 12
Tent Rocks
9:00am – 2:00pm
Join us for a beautiful slot canyon hike through the unique geological area known as
Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks. Tent Rocks is an area that features large, cone-shaped rocks
hugging the steep cliffs of Peralta Canyon. These formations were originally created by
the powerful dual forces of vulcanism and erosion - which have built up, reshaped and
then torn down this landscape over time. While uniform in shape, the tent rock
formations vary in height from just a few feet to over 90. Most of the trail is on a
gradual sloping incline through a slot canyon that is an invigorating but not strenuous walk. A steep climb to the
top of the mesa is available at the end of the trail for those interested in a challenge and a spectacular view.
Please bring layered clothing, a sun blocking hat, good walking shoes and sunscreen.
COST: $115 per person includes private transportation, professional guide, entrance fees, boxed lunch,
bottled water, gratuities and NM State Tax. Based on a minimum of 15 people.

Bandelier National Monument
1:00pm – 5:00pm
Travel northwest out of Santa Fe to Bandelier National Monument,
and descend into a canyon filled with the ruins of the Anasazi Indians,
colloquially "the Ancient Ones." Located on the Pajarito Plateau of
the Jemez Mountains, Bandelier was the home of the Anasazi from
the eleventh to fourteenth centuries. Excavated over 90 years ago,
these ruins were once home to over 200 people, ancestors of today's
Pueblo Indians. Walk along easy paths past the remains of ancient
Pueblo dwellings, to the cliff dwellings where they can climb ladders to peer inside. If time permits,
take a walk further up the path that leads to the Ceremonial Cave, where the Anasazi and later
descendants held spiritual rites and celebrations.
COST: $80 per person includes transportation, professional guide, entrance fees, gratuities and
NM State Tax, based on a minimum of 15 people.

and 19th century Hispanic farming communities before finally arriving at the village of
Chimayo, located in a beautiful valley in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Stops
include the charming Santuario de Chimayo, the most important Catholic pilgrimage site in the
Southwest, and Centinela Weaving.
COST: $70 per person includes private transportation, professional guide, donations,
gratuities and NM State Tax. Based on a minimum of 15 people.
Red Chile Workshop
1:45pm - 3:30pm
Do you love chile? Are you curious but unfamiliar? Our Chile Workshops will delight
those already familiar with New Mexico's official state vegetable and light the fires of
passion for those yet uninitiated. Here in the Land of Enchantment, chile is more than
an ingredient; it is the embodiment of a diverse and rich cultural heritage and a
distinct Southwestern lifestyle. Participants will explore chile's unique culinary history
and discover how to handle them safely and efficiently in the kitchen. This workshop
will include a lively discussion of the various dried red chiles and you will prepare: corn
tortillas, red chile sauce made from New Mexican powder, roasted tomato & chipotle
sauce, and red chile sauce made from New Mexican pods.
