Media Placements 2019 Post-Conference Press Trip Native Flavors of Santa Fe
Six IFWTWA journalists participated in an all-encompassing vision of Santa Fe.
Journalists were guided by Passport to Pueblo Country tour group on a hike at Tsankawi ruins area at Bandelier National Monument that included a traditional feast day meal, pottery making demonstration, and a dance presentation. Museum visits to Museum Hill to see IAIA Museum of Contemporary Native Arts, Museum of Indian Arts and Culture, and the Wheelwright Museum of the American Indian. Delicious meals were provided at Café Pasqual’s restaurant as well as a Margarita Trail adventure culminating at the Agoyo Lounge at the Inn on the Alameda and then at the Thunderbird Bar and Grill for dinner.
The Cowgirl Grill offered up excellent BBQ on another evening. Cocktails and dinner at the only Native American Pueblo owned hotel in the city of Santa Fe, the Amaya at the Hotel Santa Fe, served up some fare on another night with nods to the Native American history but prepared in a contemporary menu.
The Santa Fe Farmers Market was a highlight of the post-trip with its bright colors and authentic wares. La Choza offered journalists the opportunity to learn the differences in New Mexican cuisine and Old Mexican cuisine. Ten Thousand Waves Japanese Spa Resort was the relaxing setting of a chance to enjoy a soak in communal hot tubs. The stay at the independent, boutique-style hotel, El Dorado, rounded out a perfect post-trip.
