About this trip
Dive into the ethereal beauty and stunning culture of Santa Fe without feeling like a tourist and surrounded by a group of like-minded adventurers, starting with our guide.
Go Deeper, Extend Your Community
We'll introduce you to local women artists, designers, restauranteurs, and entrepreneurs who have your same spirit and thirst for exploring.
You will be guided by a hometown gal who truly knows the city, the history...and what is really worth seeing.
You'll see what inspired Georgia O'Keeffe's art on Ghost Ranch and at her home in Abiquiu, you'll ride on a train through the majestic high desert at sunset, you'll soak in hot springs, and learn the secrets of capturing the landscape on canvas and making the best tamale.
NOTE: NextTribe members receive a $100 discount on price.
About NextTribe
NextTribe offers a safe travel environment that through the energy and alchemy of adventurous women turns into a real community in a short amount of time.
We are known for group travel for women over 45 who don't normally like group travel. We keep our groups small and know that our guests are curious explorers who can take care of themselves. We allow them space to make the trip their own. You will not be in lockstep on a tight schedule behind a guide. You can roam on your own if you want (with a good GPS and an understanding of how to meet up with the group later) or you can take full advantage of the guide's knowledge of the city.
We do expect our travelers to have a level of self-sufficiency, being able to carry their own bags if need be, and to be respectful of others in the group and open to new experiences and friendships.

2:00 pm Ramblin' Rose Hat Making Sam Kate Toney-Chavanne is a local Santa Fe milliner who creates custom, one-of-a-kind headwear for clients across the country. We will gather in Sam’s cozy studio on Upper Canyon Road and unleash our creativity as Sam guides us in making custom hats. There will be three straw hat bodies to choose from and a variety of textiles to create your own hatband as well.
The high desert sun in Santa Fe is no joke, and you’ll see that hats are not only a fashion statement, they are also a practical necessity! (Optional add on)
