Full Day Trips
Our tours go as soon as we have enough people signed up. They are not offered on a schedule. We leave for tours at 8:30 or 9:00AM and pick you up at your hotel in our vans (in most cases). Our drivers are our guides and they are safe, knowledgeable and dedicated to giving you a great day!
Our tours are based on history, science, and our reverence for beauty. We have full insurance and permits with the state and federal governments. We have been offering excursions from Santa Fe since 1998, making us the oldest and most respected tour company in New Mexico.
Here is a menu of our Full Day Tours. We also offer Half Day and Custom Tours.

Chaco National Historic Park
This ancient site lies three hours from Santa Fe in the beautiful San Juan Basin. This is one of the most scenic and unusual trips we offer. Chaco is a place for people with a deep interest in the Puebloan culture and archaeology as these are the most significant early Puebloan ("Anasazi") ruins in the Southwest.
The long but beautiful drive to Chaco passes through desert landscapes and brings us to this remote National Historic Park and World Heritage Site. A ten mile dirt road may be slow and bumpy. We walk through the remains of beautifully crafted sandstone pueblos which were abandoned around the year 1300. Aside from the antiquities, this tour with introduce you to the Navajo people and some of the issues facing this oil rich region.
Due to the distance and staffing needs, this tour is offered for a minimum of 4 guests.
