Santa Fe
--
nestled in the foothills at the southern tip of the Rocky Mountains at
an altitude of 7,000 feet. Thousands of acres of National
Forest and wilderness surround the city, and yet it is only
an hour's drive to the Albuquerque

Known as the "City
Different,"
Santa Fe is a sophisticated small city linked to its remarkable history
through its architecture, traditions and multi-cultural population. It
is a city of abundant fine arts, world-class performing arts and natural

and Native
American heritage. Visit one of the 19
Indian Pueblos or absorb the “City
of Faith.”
Santa Fe is well known as a center for alternative healing, spirituality
and culture as well as for art (with
over 150 galleries).
There is also hang-gliding,
mountain
biking, hiking,

riding and hotsprings.
