Thursday Evening Activity

Chimayo Tour with Dinner at Rancho de Chimayo

Enjoy a drive through the beautiful sandstone formations into the lush Chimayo Valley.  The tour will take us north of Santa Fe along the “High Road”, passing through several small 18th and 19th-century Hispanic farming communities before finally arriving at the village of Chimayo, located in a beautiful valley in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.  You will have a stop at the charming Santuario de Chimayo, the most important Catholic pilgrimage site in the Southwest. The Santuario is famous for the professed healing powers contained in the earth near the church and which can be gathered from a small hole in the floor of an anteroom within the Santuario.   Your guide will lead you through the church and adjacent hamlet where you will have the opportunity to shop for souvenirs and some of the famous chile of the area, perhaps the most flavorful of any chile grown in the US.   Rancho de Chimayo Restaurant is one of the most visited dining establishments in the world and is continually listed as a top 100 restaurant establishment in the United States.  This century-old adobe home with white-washed walls, hand stripped vigas, cozy dining rooms and lush terraced patios has become one of New Mexico's more popular places to dine.  Rancho de Chimayo is known for its unique native New Mexico cuisine, prepared with locally grown products from recipes that have been in the family for generations.    Transportation and Dinner are included in your registration.  Guests are welcome, an additional fee will apply.
