SANTA FE
contact us
Santa Fe, New Mexico

Escape to Santa Fe, one of America’s most vibrant, colorful cities. Santa Fe is rich in history, the arts, cuisine, recreation, culture and hospitality. The country’s oldest state capital is a bewitching place where centuries-old adobes are set against the dramatic Sangre de Cristo mountains. From hot green chili to cool art to world-class opera under the stars, you’ll enjoy a lovely weekend saturated with creative flair. 

Let us create a custom Santa Fe itinerary just for you.
Travel independently with our Concierge Travel Services or have us join you and take care of all the details.

TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS
​TO SANTA FE 

Consider three transportation options to and from Santa Fe.

1. Provide your own transportation:  
Get a few couples together or plan a girl’s weekend and leave the details to us. Drive your own vehicle or rent a car at the Santa Fe or Albuquerque airport, about an hour south of Santa Fe. You can use your own car throughout the weekend or we can make arrangements for a motor coach and full-time driver for your group.

2. Group Motor coach from Denver with a day in Taos: 
This option is for groups of 8 to 10. Depart Denver in our luxury, air-conditioned motor coach and travel through the
back roads and highways that make up the beloved route known as the “High Road to Taos", a winding journey through some of the most stunning geographical sights and cultural attractions that New Mexico has to offer. Taos is hippy dippy and artsy. Ask us about a guided fly fishing or mountain biking excursion.
Your motor coach and driver will be with you throughout the weekend and then return your group to Denver.      

​2. Private Air Charter from Denver:    
An indulgent but surprisingly reasonable option for a group of 6 to 8 people. Our luxury aircraft allows for a direct flight that gets you to Santa Fe quickly, safely and efficiently. We are able to fly directly in to Santa Fe airport while commercial airlines must fly in to Albuquerque airport, about an hour south of Santa Fe. Depart from Denver and arrive in Santa Fe in a quick hour and a half for ample time for lunch and to explore the city. Service can include limousine service and driver for the duration of your trip.                                                                                            

Che Bella Tours offers a variety of hotel options and of course, we will give you our "in-the-know" restaurant, shopping and activity recommendations.                                    

ENJOY AN INTRODUCTION TO SANTA FE WITH A VERY SWEET ENDING

• New Mexico State Capitol Building
• San Miguel Chapel 
• Barrio de Analco National Historic District
• Santa Fe Trail
• Loretto Chapel 
• Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi 
• Santa Fe Plaza, a National Historic Landmark

​Your tour will end with Santa Fe's famous chocolatiers. Dedicated to sharing their passion for chocolate, they balance the traditional with the cutting edge, creating unique and exquisitely bold creations inspired by Mesoamerican and Colonial chocolate recipes. They have a startling variety of contemporary flavors such as Pomegranate, Cherry-Chili, Prickly Pear, Mescal, Goat Cheese and Sage, as well as Classic French Dark and Raspberry Hazelnut. It's a sweet ending to a wonderful tour.

Spend the rest of the day enjoying the shops and galleries. Find your spirit animal, have a French pastry, pick up some souvenirs or explore the city's beautiful art galleries.   

A GOOD FRIDAY 

Picture
Bandelier National Monument. Leave early to avoid the crowds and strong sun. A collision of natural majesty and ancient living practices, Bandelier National Monument is a veritable playground for nature lovers and those curious about early settlements in the area. The region is characterized by craggy, red sandstone cliffs and walls surrounded by pine-dotted hills. You will learn about the cave-dwelling natives who inhabited the very walls themselves, marvel at the evidence of their ingenuity and enjoy excellent hiking trails. 

Depending on the weekend, you can also do the First Friday Art Walk and enjoy a concert on the Plaza or at St. Johns college.

SATURDAYS ARE ARTSY DAYS:
​MORNING MARKETS, CANYON ROAD AND OPERA

Take a morning walk to the Farmer’s Market and Artist’s Market. You can also spend some time at the famous Canyon Road galleries and shops. Santa Fe is considered one of the country’s largest art markets, with more than 90 of Santa Fe’s 300 galleries found here. From rare Indian antiquities to Santa Fe School masterpieces to wild contemporary work, it’s a great place to find that perfect piece.

Spend some time at the inspirational Meow Wolf, creating and supporting art across a variety of media, including architecture, sculpture, painting, photography, video production, cross-reality (AR/VR/MR), music, audio engineering, narrative writing, costuming, performance and more.

The Santa Fe Opera. August is opera season in Santa Fe. The venue offers world-class productions with spectacular views of the mountains and setting sun. We can arrange a tour of the Opera facilities to see the incredible amount of work that goes into their productions. In the evening, we will transport you to the opera site for a white table cloth tailgate dinner. The Opera commences at 8:30 as the last of the sun sets and the stars come out. An unforgettable evening!
