Tesuque, North of Santa Fe

Traditional Spanish settlements grew up along the fertile streams that run from the mountains to the Rio Grande. Native American pueblos (reservations) straddle the Rio Grande and adjoin the villages to the north of Santa Fe.

Tesuque (a village named after the adjacent pueblo) is just north of Santa Fe. Because of its initial affordability, it became a home to artists. Later it became popular, offering a “back to nature” lifestyle for the affluent. Los Caminitos and Vista Redondo are among the subdivisions near Tesuque on the way to the tiny villages of Chupadero and Rio En Medio. Casas de San Juan is a superb gated community adjacent to the Santa Fe Opera. Tesuque is a great place for hiking, horse riding and biking. It’s also home to the Shidoni Foundry and Gallery, and to the famed Tesuque Village Market, where you can enjoy casual food, great company and maybe even a little stargazing…. A little further up the road is the luxurious and chic Encantado Resort, with its fine dining, spa and just general yummy casual elegance.
