May 21, 2022 Carley Gatson

Venture into the unspoiled beauty of 7,000-foot Rocky Mountain vistas, marvel at the contrast of ancient native culture mixed with modern arts, feast on legendary cuisine and relax in rustic sophistication. A visit to Santa Fe, Travel & Leisure's #1 Cultural Getaway, feels a lot like a visit to Europe. The Spanish Colonial charm of this historic destination has been enchanting travelers for over 400 years. And Santa Fe shows no signs of slowing down.

I really didn’t know what to expect when visiting the opera house but let me tell you that it was amazing. I have only been to one other opera house in my life but this was an eye opener. Beautiful venue and great atmosphere which I enjoyed a lot. The Opera house should definitely be on your travelers list when visiting Santa Fe.

The performance we saw last Saturday was the best we have ever seen in the US, despite living near San Antonio for several years where I acquired an appreciation for this style of dance. Passionate and extremely well executed. Excellent choreography. The highlight of our visit to SF.

I took a fun class with Chris on making cups using a pottery wheel. It was my first time trying anything on the pottery wheel, so even though it was difficult, Chris gave good instructions and helped when I needed it. I had lots of fun with my family and shared lots of laughter over it. I recommend trying a class or walking in to look at the beautiful pieces of pottery! Everyone is very friendly and the pottery amazing.
