Albuquerque- Santa Fe

Join Anna for a tour of Abuquerque and Sante Fe, the spiritual heart of the Southwest August 18 - 24

This is the perfect remedy for the stifling late summer heat and humidity in the Golden Isles. Native American, Mexican and Anglo-European cultures are reflected in the treasures of Albuquerque, Santa Fe & Taos. The breathtaking panorama of the picturesque desert vistas offers the perfect backdrop for this uniquely American excursion. At 7000 feet, Santa Fe is our country's highest and oldest (c.1610) capital city. This is a community where artistic endeavors are celebrated. Our hotel is just steps away from the Plaza, the social and business hub of the town for nearly 400 years. Art galleries, museums and shops will literally be at your doorstep.

There will be lots of free time to pursue your own interests. If you would like to attend several operas but your roommate is more interested in the culinary arts, no problem! At the same time, there will be planned tours and activities of interest to all. Don't miss this opportunity to travel with friends from the Golden Isles!
