      About this trip

      The Four Corners area of the American Southwest is one of the most breathtaking landscapes in the world. It is an enchanting land of painted deserts, verdant forests, and towering red mesas visible for miles under the brilliant sunlight. The ancient Anasazi remains, colonial Spanish villages and Native American pueblos (villages) reflect a proud heritage intimately in tune with nature and rooted in tradition.  


      Join Far Horizons for an extraordinary ten-day jaunt through the spectacular Four Corners, where the states of New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, and Arizona come together. Our trip begins and ends in Albuquerque, New Mexico where we visit the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center and the University of New Mexico’s splendid Maxwell Museum of Anthropology. We spend a day in Chaco Canyon, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, before moving north to Aztec and Mesa Verde, also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In  Canyon de Chelly, Navajo guides take us on a specially-arranged-tour to out-of-the-way areas seldom seen by tourists. Other highlights include Acoma, the oldest continuously occupied town in the United States; Zuni Pueblo with its historic mission church, and Santa Fe, the oldest capital city of the US whose rich cultural history is ever-present. Won't you join this small group as we travel through a truly enchanting part of the United States!

      All was wonderful.
      By Michael R for Japan In Bloom 2024 on May 04, 2024
      “Japan in Bloom” is an intense peek into the Buddhist history of Japan. Gardens, also… ancient and modern. Far Horizons has a knack for choosing the best in leaders & accommodations. Repeat travelers are key, and they abound!

      The trip was all we had hoped it would be. Defiinately a liftime adventure. Not a vacation....... but a journey of adventure and exploration. We learned so very very much. Our trip leader, Stanley, made the trip as he was a walking fount of information not only about the Mayan people and their culture, but about history in general. The trip was rigourous without being beyond our capabilities as active 78 and 74 year olds. There really is nothing that either of us want to comment upon as all was well organized and well planned. We had an amazing adventure and we highly recommend it! We are thinking about how to plan another! Janice and Jack

      We had a great time! The Mayan sites we visited were richer and better kept that what we expected. Stanley, our tour guide, is very kind and helpful. He provided a lot of information concerning the history and political relevance of each of the sites. The hotels we stayed in were nice and most of them situated in beautiful natural environments. And the other group members were interested in Mayan culture and very likable persons. So, we learn more about the Mayas and enjoy much the time we spent in Belize.
