Things to do / Travel Guide
There are a number of guided tours that are available. There are possibilities to take weeklong trips, focusing on the culture of the region, which will give you an insider's view of the area that alone you may find hard to accomplish.
Adventure Tours in northern New Mexico and southern Colorado
Outdoor adventure outfitters throughout the region typically offer guides as part of the tours. For instance, a whitewater rafting trip down the Rio Grande typically features a guide who, when not paddling furiously, will regale the passengers with the history of the region and interesting facts about the landscape and the wildlife of the area. On off-road jeep tours, visitors get far off the beaten path with guides who know these wilderness areas like the back of their hand and love nothing more than sharing their knowledge of the area with their guests. Basically, on any outdoor excursion you take in the region that includes a guide; expect to learn a good deal and to appreciate the region more than you would by tackling it alone.
Historic Tours in northern New Mexico and southern Colorado
In Santa Fe, Taos, and Albuquerque, walking tours of the historic downtowns are widely available. These tours are easily booked, typically last a few hours, and are guaranteed to give the visitor a newfound appreciation for the complexity of these downtown historic districts. Most of these type tours will cost about $10 for a two-hour tour of the historic downtown. The tour is a bargain and a great way to make sure you don't leave the area without learning a little about its history.
Pueblo Tours in northern New Mexico and southern Colorado
There are many tour guides and day trips that showcase the Native American pueblo villages and ruins of the region. These are often a great opportunity for visitors to see and appreciate these areas from an insider, often a member of the tribe itself, who knows and appreciates these areas fully.
