      The Santa Fe School of Cooking

      Day 6

      Discover the flavors of the Southwest at the Santa Fe School of Cooking

      Set in the heart of historic Santa Fe for close to 30 years, the Santa Fe School of Cooking is an internationally acclaimed, recreational culinary school and online market specializing in foods of the American Southwest. For centuries before Santa Fe was even considered a city, the area enjoyed a unique food culture cultivated by the Native American peoples. Over time, the mix of Native American, Spanish and Anglo cultures in Santa Fe created one of the most diverse and exciting "foodie scenes" in North America. Learn some of its secrets through a private presentation by a local chef, followed by an extraordinary lunch at this acclaimed cooking school.

      A float trip on the Rio Grande

      Day 5

      Enjoy a private guided float trip along the mighty Rio Grande... and a traditional Pueblo lunch

      One of the great rivers of the American Southwest, the Rio Grande rises in Colorado and flows to the Gulf of Mexico through the states of Colorado, New Mexico and Texas and several Mexican states; the mighty river forms part of the border between the US and Mexico. The Rio Grande has long been a popular waterway for rafting, and in the 1960s became one of the first rivers in the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. Near Taos, board a rubber raft with your native local guide for a private gentle float trip on the Rio Grande, capped by a traditional Pueblo cooking demo and family-style lunch.

      International Balloon Fiesta

      Day 2

      See the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta on select departures

      What began as a small gathering of 13 hot air balloons in a mall parking lot to help celebrate an Albuquerque radio station’s 50th anniversary in 1972 has grown into the largest balloon event in the world. Held each year during the first week in October, the 9-day Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta now attracts almost 600 balloons and 1,000 pilots. Hundreds of thousands of guests visit the Balloon Fiesta each year, and hundreds of thousands more fans watch the balloons from outlying areas and on TV. Guests on early October departures of “New Mexico – Land of Enchantment” can enjoy an optional early morning (5:00 AM) excursion to see the mass ascension of balloons on Day 2; ask for details at booking.
