Insights into Immersive, Unique Experiences in Northern New Mexico -Our Story

Our travel guide offers a quality selection of the best places to visit, some in town, some a little off the beaten path, and some a scenic drive away. All our recommendations guide you to a deeply rooted connection to the authentic Santa Fe experience that we locals know and love. Whether you’re visiting for a few days or a few weeks, SantaFeSelection.com gets your exploration of the Land of Enchantment off to a great start!

On my first visit in 1984, I was fortunate to be shown around Santa Fe by locals who loved their home town and showed me their favorite places, introduced me to colorful characters, and helped make my experience of Santa Fe and Northern New Mexico very special, and I'll always be grateful for that. I explored places and enjoyed experiences I would never have found on my own, and I realized that Santa Fe isn't like anywhere else.

Travel sites nowadays are so impersonal and overwhelming with their exhaustive lists and distracting ad content, and are not created by locals who love the area.

I created Santa Fe Selection Travel Guide so that I could share my personal recommendations to travelers - many of which I received when I first visited. My curated travel guide website, Mini Guide Maps and concierge cards focus on locally-owned small businesses, tour operators, artists, restaurants, and immersive experiences; those things that I know offer a sense of “insider” access to the area's history, art, culture, people, traditions, and flavors that are authentic and characteristically New Mexican. Our lodging category offers special discount links where you can book directly and receive discounts that are exclusive to Santa Fe Selection. If you’d like a Mini Guide Map mailed to you in advance of your arrival, send me an email request to [email protected].
