Why Visit Santa Fe in September?
September- A Perfect Travel Month for Santa Fe, NM Visitors.
Zozobra burns to usher in Santa Fe's Fiesta Celebrations
The perfect month for Santa Fe travel, in my opinion is September (and into October!). This is somewhat of a secret to potential visitors. Don’t get me wrong, New Mexico travel is popular during the pre-fall and fall months but what many folks don’t realize is how enchanting Santa Fe really is during these short 60 days (October is not to be over looked!). September Santa Fe visitors enjoy cooler temperatures, reduced crowds, carefree attitudes as well as bountiful outdoor markets, Santa Fe Fiesta festivities and glorious natural beauty. While many US families begin preparing for school routines, value conscious travelers make time to take advantage of this distinctively unique area of the United States. Old historic downtown Santa Fe fills up with art fairs, festivals, and local residents returning to their beloved plaza. Outdoorsmen adore September’s natural beauty which announce the beginnings of rich colors of fall foliage (October) up in the Sangre de Cristo mountains. Hikers take to gentle stream lined trails in Hyde Park National Forest. Northern New Mexico tourists enjoy distinctively unique day trips searching out unexplored areas of Native American and Hispanic cultures. All activities and special Santa Fe events are within miles of downtown Santa Fe which boasts gracious southwestern hospitality and local New Mexican cuisine. September Santa Fe visitors unanimously agree this is a prime time to experience “the land of enchantment.” A short listing of Santa Fe events have been provided for your perusing pleasure. Be careful- as you may find yourself feeling like that lone child in the candy isle with so many tantalizing selections to choose from. Pueblo Bonito bed & breakfast inn invites you to enjoy an invigorating, yet relaxing, memorable visit to our beloved Northern New Mexico city of Santa Fe. You’ll be glad you did!

Santa Fe Voted #5 Travel Destination in US!
10th consecutive year- Santa Fe Voted One of the Most Popular North American Travel Cities!
“In polls over the years Santa Fe has been consistently rated as a travel destination on a par with New York, San Francisco, Chicago, New Orleans, and Vancouver among others,” said Jim Bradbury, Executive Director of the Santa Fe Convention & Visitors Bureau. “Visitors are seeking something genuine and original in their travels and Santa Fe’s history, culture, people, and attractions provide that authenticity. In addition, the city delivers a high degree of customer service that keeps travelers returning to Santa Fe.”
Of Santa Fe, Travel+Leisure said: “…in this ever-changing city… thick-walled adobe buildings nearly 400 years old stand cheek-by-jowl with avant-garde art galleries and edgy modern restaurants. It’s a reminder that, despite its vibrant population of skiers and hikers, painters and photographers, alternative healers, and hippies, this city is strongly connected to its Spanish-Native American heritage–and to the pristine landscape that surrounds it.”
So, book your next vacation in beautiful Santa Fe and experience all it’s old world charm while staying at the historic Pueblo Bonito Inn. See you soon!
