EasyFor people looking to exercise their minds more than their bodies. There’s minimal walking and not too many stairs.
ModerateThese programs get you on your feet and include activities such as walking up to a mile in a day through a city and standing in a museum for a few hours.
ActiveFor people who enjoy walking as much as two miles a day, perhaps to explore historic neighborhoods or a nature trail.
Moderately ChallengingFor hardy explorers who enjoy a good physical challenge, spending most of their days on the go.
ChallengingGet ready to keep up with our highest-energy group. These demanding — and rewarding — programs are for seasoned outdoor enthusiasts.
Explore the rich Jewish heritage of New Mexico, from its settlement by the conversos after the Spanish Inquisition to the double lives led as many returned to their Jewish faith in secret. Meet a female rabbi who works with unaffiliated Jews in Albuquerque and a well-known Ashkenazi artist who incorporates Hispanic, Native American and Jewish cultures into her art. Spend two nights in Santa Fe, attend a play that incorporates cultural connections and explore Santa Fe's Jewish history. You will have a very personal and unique experience.


Highlights

• Learn how converso/crypto-Jews settled in the northern part of New Mexico and how their traditions intertwined with those of many small communities.
• Enjoy the play “Parted Waters,” a dramatic portrayal of three generations of converso descendants dealing with secrecy of their lineage.
• Learn how Sephardic and Ashkenazi Jews have integrated their lives with the larger New Mexico community.
