Santa Fe, to this day, has surviving diverse cultures, and numerous exciting, and sometimes quirky, annual events like the burning of Zozobra. Santa Fe is a cross-roads where art meets science and ancient meets future . . .

History of Santa Fe

The founding of Santa Fe and New Mexico's journey to Statehood is a tale of many twisty turns. Today the primary cultures influencing this beautiful high desert community are Native American (still thriving in The 19 pueblos), Hispanic, and Anglo-Saxon. These people have grown to create a harmonious co-existence, respecting each other's culture, resulting in a highly spiritual feeling that one can interpret in a plethora of ways. These cultures, along with the blue skies and dramatic landscape, combine into a magnificent recipe that attracts artists, scientists, and many others of all walks of life; each with a personal interest in exploring the many facets of nature, humankind, or our universe.
