Perched in the high mountain desert of northern New Mexico, Santa Fe is an oasis of art, history and culture in a breathtaking natural setting. The clear New Mexican sun shines brightly for most days of the year, inviting artists, skiers, hikers and explorers to take advantage of all that the city has to offer. The rich history of the region begins with the ancient Native American culture that flourished in the area and continues to do so today in many Pueblos. Remains of ancestral Pueblo settlements with sacred cliff dwellings are awe-inspiring places to visit and explore.
The natural beauty of the region makes outdoor activities a year-round delight. The Sangre de Cristo mountains beckon skiers during the winter and hikers and bikers year round to explore the slopes and trails. The Rio Grande, Pecos and San Juan rivers (to name a few) offer beautiful spots for fly-fishing, white water rafting and kayaking.
