Tauck’s recipe for a taste of life in New Mexico includes:
• Private cocktail party, dinner and docent tour at the El Paso Museum of Art, known for its Italian Renaissance collection
• A private lecture by a veteran
conservationist on the insect-eating bats of Carlsbad Caverns National Park
• Private presentation on regional cuisine and cooking ingredients by a local chef plus lunch at the Santa Fe School of Cooking
• Dinner at Wendell’s, the signature restaurant of the Inn of the Mountain Gods Resort & Casino in Mescalero
• Private visit to the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe, tempting the “palette” with 3,000 original works of art
• Exploration of Bandelier National Monument, the oldest surviving human settlement in North America, chronicling life through the centuries
• Airport transfers upon arrival and departure as detailed
• 14 meals (7 breakfasts, 2 lunches, 5 dinners); service charges, gratuities to local guides, admission fees, taxes and porterage
“This was our third wonderful Tauck tour. New Mexico has its own charm, beauty and so much history... Carlsbad, White
Sands, Bandelier and the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum rate high on our list... and then there is the Santa Fe Cooking School, the rangers and guides...
