No trip to New Mexico is complete without a visit to Santa Fe, a magical, exuberant, colourful city for all seasons.
It’s famed for its spirited creativity, and seemingly endless assortment of amazing eateries, art and cultural hot-spots,
ancient Indian ruins, traditional pueblos, and natural wonders, but be sure to visit the Historic District’s original, adobe houses, some considered the country’s firsts. And if you’re not too tired come nightfall, head to the Galisteo Basin Preserve to view the dazzling starstudded night skies.​

Great Sand Dunes National Park & Preserve

This sandbox of epic proportions encompasses 30 square miles; its tallest dune towers at 750 feet high. Because the dunes and surrounding mountains are designated wilderness, it’s great for enjoying unspoiled natural beauty in many ways. Splash around in the mysteriously appearing and disappearing Medano Creek, sled down the dunes, go bird-watching in wetlands, or ascend a 13,000-foot peak. It’s a hot-spot for dark-sky-loving stargazers too, with astronomy
programmes available May to September.​
