Itinerary

Stop 1

San Miguel Chapel is the oldest church in the United States, dating back to the early 1600s. This historic adobe structure reflects Santa Fe’s rich cultural and architectural heritage.

Stop 2

The Loretto Chapel is renowned for its iconic "Miraculous Staircase," a spiral staircase constructed without nails or visible support. Built in the late 1800s, the Gothic Revival-style chapel is a marvel of craftsmanship and design.

Stop 3

This stunning French Romanesque cathedral, built in the late 19th century, stands as a spiritual and architectural centerpiece of Santa Fe. Its elegant arches, rose window, and serene interior create an atmosphere of awe and reverence.

Stop 4

The Cross of the Martyrs offers stunning panoramic views of Santa Fe and the surrounding mountains. This hilltop memorial commemorates the Spanish friars who lost their lives during the Pueblo Revolt of 1680.
