Upcoming Getaway Adventures

Relaxation Day | Ojo Santa Fe Spa (Thursday, May 22nd, 2025)

Located in La Cienega Valley, this natural wetland has numerous artesian springs that drain into two converging creeks that meet at the Santa Fe River at the south end of the valley. The water from these artesian springs is refreshingly cold and pure; it is free from contaminants because it has been protected through many layers of rock on its way to the surface.
Join us as we soak in the thermal pools and relax in the peace that the spa has to offer.
$95 for all.

Mandatory Zoom Pre-trip Meeting on May 20th, at 5pm. Zoom info will be sent prior to meeting.
