Location

Santa Fe is an internationally known, historic city of 70,000 full time residents. The city is located in a stunning region of northern New Mexico, nestled between the Sangre de Cristo and Jemez Mountains. Santa Fe celebrates a wonderful fusion of Hispanic, Native and Anglo culture, art, history, and natural beauty and has sparked the imagination of its visitors and residents for 400 years. The City Different continues to garner accolades for being a world-class destination with more than one million visitors each year.

Independent spirits have been drawn to Santa Fe since its official founding in the 17th century. Native Americans were the original inhabitants centuries prior to Spanish arrival. Santa Fe has the country's third largest art market featuring over 250 galleries and host to prominent art shows such as the Santa Fe Indian Market, Spanish Market, and the Santa Fe International Folk Art Market.

Truly a cosmopolitan city, Santa Fe is home to a renowned open-air opera house, more than 300 restaurants, superb museums, miles of hiking and horseback riding trails, a ski area, outstanding golf, and much more. It is also the capital of New Mexico and, at 7,000 feet above sea level, is the highest and oldest capital city in the U.S.

Santa Fe offers peace and tranquility that allows for contemplation and reverence. It also provides a vibrant community life with opportunities in entertainment, education, and enlightenment at every turn. The dramatic clear light of the high desert, awesome surrounding mountains, historic architecture, rich arts, unique cuisine, and interplay of cultures create a city unlike any other.

Santa Fe's location in the U.S. Southwest guarantees almost 300 days a year of dazzling sunshine. A dry climate gives the air a sparkling clarity and provides the opportunity to view amazing vistas, vibrant sunsets, and remarkable night skies. The crisp, clean air is also among the most healthful in the world (according to the World Health Organization) with virtually no air pollutants from industry. People often assume the climate of northern New Mexico is similar to places like Phoenix, but an elevation of 7,000 feet provides cooler summers and snow in the winter. Summers are long lasting with the warmest days in July typically reaching the mid 90s, complemented by no humidity and cool, comfortable evenings. Fall is a wonderful time to enjoy the City Different with warm days, refreshing nights, and abundant sunshine. Winters are relatively mild with high temperatures in the 40s and 50s and the surrounding mountains are a winter wonderland with deep snow accumulation and nearby ski resorts. Spring is the most changeable time of year with snow run-off feeding the foothills, temperatures beginning to edge up, and occasional spring thunderstorms. The average rainfall in Santa Fe is 13 inches per year.
