Learn about historic downtown Santa Fe

with a fun and adventurous walking tour

of the nation’s oldest churches and homes.

Visit some of the most prominent

landmarks, including the Palace of the

Governors, the oldest continuously

occupied government building in the U.S.

The heart of the city is the Santa Fe Plaza,

a Spanish-inspired square surrounded

by shaded sidewalks and boutiques

specializing in New Mexican arts and crafts.

Finish up with shopping, lunch in a local

restaurant, or a visit to Museum Hill.

Painter Georgia O’Keeffe (1887-1986)

was famous for her canvases of oversized

flowers and her abstract visions of

New Mexico’s landscape, playing on its

dramatic color palette. Her scenes of

village life and religious ceremonial sites

are windows into the region’s unique

culture. In this luxury excursion, you

can visit the actual places that inspired

Georgia O’Keeffe.

Visit Abiquiu, then travel to Ghost Ranch,

O’Keeffe’s first residence in New Mexico

with views of Pedernal, her “private

mountain.” Discover the untouched,

lonely landscapes of the Faraway.

Long a focal point for New Age

spirituality, Santa Fe is said to be one

of the rare places on Earth where there

is a powerful energy flow on multiple

dimensions, focused around specific

spiritual vortices.

The Spa at Four Seasons has its own

spiritual vortex, first discovered by

a local shaman during the Spa’s

opening ceremony in 2008.

The vortex has been credited by

therapists was the reason for their

enhanced ability to provide guests

with the ultimate healing experience.

To experience this sacred place, try one

of our regionally inspired treatments:

The Mountain Spirit Purification.The

ritual begins with a smudging of sage,

followed by an adobe clay body mask.

A warm restful wrap is completed with

a scalp and foot massage. Refresh with

a shower rinse and then surrender to a

juniper-sage massage using hot stones.
