The Orchids GardenThe Orchids are native to the highlands and several residents have created informal gardens to showcase their favorite varieties. The finished product is called Cafe El Tute, after the area’s landmark mountain peak, adn is only available locally, so be sure to stock up!
They’ll share their knowledge and appreciation for this tenacious exotic plant, some with flowers as big as oranges, and others as a grain of rice.
A few organic farms also offer tours where you may see citrus, mango and avocado trees, green beans and broccoli, water melons and squash in a rustic tropical setting. If you go in the middle of the day you may be treated to lunch, prepared with home grown veggies.
After all that activity you’ll probably want to cool off, and the rivers of Santa Fe are the perfect way to be refreshed. Arrange to go River Tubing with one of the local outfitters for a fun day of floating.
If tubing doesn't float your boat, maybe you’d prefer a therapeutic massage.
