Santa Fe, New Mexico – Vacation Packages
Even though Santa Fe is the capital of New Mexico, the third largest city in the state with a population of 60,000 and has been around longer than all but one other city in America – yet it is still relatively unknown to many U.S. travelers. The city’s history spans almost 400 years, but much of Santa Fe is unexpected, including its Rocky Mountain climate and geography and the cultural diversity created by a mix of Native American, Hispanic and European traditions.
Surrounded as it is by literally millions of acres of National Forest and public land, the city is a jumping off point for a number of different outdoor recreational activities. And, for the sight seer, the beauty of the surrounding area offers an amazing diversity of scenery and places to discover. Visiting Santa Fe does not have to be just about seeing the city but can take in all of Northern New Mexico and its many attractions, such as Spanish-Pueblo Architecture, Palace of the Governors and the San Miguel Mission. The nearby Native American Pueblos are an easy drive as are the archaeological ruins of the Pueblos’ founding culture, the Anasazi, at the Puye Cliff Dwellings and Bandelier National Monument.
