Santa Fe is known as The City Different. Visit just once and you'll understand!
When it comes to individual opinions of Santa Fe our experience is that no one is on the fence: Folks either love it or hate it without question. We are so deep into the love-it camp that we had to move here! In the present age when most US cities seem homogenized (basically all feeling the same, dominated by the same chain restaurants and big-box retailers with only vacant buildings to remind us of distinct pasts), Santa Fe is different by design. We are passionate locals and travel experts eager to make your visit to the Land of Enchantment and Santa Fe personalized, effortless and amazing! We love where we live and are happy to provide complimentary answers and recommendations. As well, we can handle all your travel and lodging reservations for you. Leave the work to us. You simply dream, pack and enjoy! The Hill Guys are here for ALL your travel arrangements for Santa Fe, the USA and beyond.

High Desert
Santa Fe is situated at 7,000 feet above sea level (2,134 m) in the beautiful high desert of north-central New Mexico. The combination of our high elevation and arid climate results in two wonderful outcomes:
The Sun, Amazing Light and Vivid Skies
One mile is 5,280 feet (1,609 m), so being at 7,000 feet above sea level means that there is 1.3 miles less atmosphere between us and the sun and space than at sea level:

Architecture - Santa Fe Style
Part of Santa Fe's charm and harmonious vibe comes from its architecture. The core elements are rooted in the structural designs and building methods of native peoples (pueblos) that date back over 1,000 years. There are several distinct styles which stand alone or may be blended, but all maintain elements of Pueblo style with earthen hues. To protect Santa Fe's distinct history and identity, city zoning mandates height restrictions and that most buildings be in the Spanish, Pueblo and/or Territorial style(s).
