The Plaza was once considered the "Central Park" of the city many years ago. Today, this beautiful area with its inviting trees, grass, benches and monuments is still a vital hub of activity. The Plaza is the core of old Santa Fe as it features several attractions, restaurants and shops in the plaza and in the surrounding streets. This site is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is usually the site for many of the city's high-profile events.
Nature lovers and history buffs will have much to enjoy outdoors when visiting Nambe Falls. There is plenty to captivate the eye, as this area features such natural amenities as waterfalls, fishing, camping, and inviting hiking trails. The excellent lookout points are numerous, but make sure to check out the area above Nambe Pueblo, which is one of the most breathtaking. The spot is also where the annual Fourth of July dance ceremony is held.
Loretto Line Tour Company makes exploring Santa Fe more like an adventure than a difficult chore. The tour is an excellent way to learn more about the area as well as absorbing some detailed but highly interesting history in the process. You'll dig deep and go "beyond the plaza" to some of the city's most historically and culturally rich locations. Your guides will make seeing and learning about it all even more fun than you could imagine, and by the time your tour is done, you'll possess a level of knowledge about Santa Fe that will make you appreciate the city even more.
The Native American role in Santa Fe's rich history is a significant one, and that fact is celebrated every May with the Native Treasures Indian Arts Festival. Shop for beautiful jewelry and other one-of-a-kind pieces made by more than 180 established and emerging artists from the Native American pueblos and tribes. The proceeds from the event benefit the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture.
