Ecotourism. Beyond the Beaten Path

Welcome to Ecotourism New Mexico, where we invite you to get off the beaten path and explore some of the hidden gems in our Land of Enchanment. When you consider that New Mexico has an average of 15 people per square mile and compare it say, the State of Massacheussets with over 800 people per square mile, that path is not far. Or that in Nageezi, NM you peer into a night sky as dark and revealing as the Anasazi did a millennia ago.  Whether on an Apache guided horseback trek through the Gila Wilderness or floating lazily down the Rio Grande with an interpretive guide to reveal it’s secrets, one will come to feel that they are truly in the the Land of Enchantment.

enchantment now comes in green.

This land has an ancient history dating back many centuries with the twenty-two Native American tribes, among them the storied Navajo, Apache and Pueblo cultures. The spiritual roots that sustain these tribes, pueblos and nations connect them to the earth and sky, to wind and water, to sun and moon, and to their ancestors. It is the the sharing of  that connection with people from other cultures, in an atmosphere of respect and understanding that turns a vacation into a transformative journey.

Multi-Cultural. One Spirit

From the first Anasazi Pueblos in Chaco to San Juan de los Caballeros, the first Spanish colonial settlement in the 1500’s, to the Anglo westward expansion along the Santa Fe Trail in the 1800’s, people from disparate cultures and distant lands have been enchanted by this same place. Enough to call New Mexico home.

Ecotourism, New Mexico style, celebrates our multi-cultural roots, love of the land and adventure through journeys that share the authentic best of each. Which not only benefits those that come in contact with it, but give local communities and ecosystems a sustainable path into the future.
