Taos Glamping

Sep 2022

This is my 8th trip with Heritage Inspirations and it was another amazing experience. Five of my girlfriends and I began talking with Angelisa a year ago about a glamping trip while we were on a Heritage Inspirations trip to Plaza Blanca (not to be missed!) and a year later we made it happen. From the moment we arrived at our beautiful campsite north of Taos, we truly were in the land of enchantment. The natural beauty of this timeless and ancient landscape drew us in and we were transported. Angelisa and her team are masters of the art of attention to detail - everything from beautifully comfortable tents with real sheets on platform beds to the little lantern on a bedside table to real flush toilets and an open air shower with hot running water of our dreams. Our dining table under a canopy provided us a cozy spot over looking the Rio Grande Gorge for delicious and amazing meals. Fresh hot coffee was ready at 6:30 a.m. so we could see the sun rise hit the grandeur of the walls of the canyon. We had a fire at night and gazed at the stars as we watched the flames dance. It truly was a once in a lifetime adventure, one we will never forget. Heritage Inspirations is a travel company like no other - their passion for New Mexico, dedication to the comfort of their guests through every detail and their good spirits shine through every moment - true hospitality is in every detail. I highly recommend glamping and any of the trips Heritage Inspirations offers.

I had been wanting to experience the Glamping travel trend and discover Taos for quite some time so my annual mother/daughter trip seemed like the perfect opportunity to finally do this and Angelisa Murray’s Heritage Inspirations Glamping tours made it happen! I had no idea what to expect but the 3 day 2 night tour itinerary was so amazing it’s hard to pick a single day or event as a favorite. Suffice it to say that from the intimate city guide that ends with delicious gourmet chocolate to the final gourmet meal camp side ( after sunset yoga) day 1 was an inspiration for what was yet to come. Day 2 took us (in our luxury van) to the belly of the Rio Grande Gorge, canoeing down the river and wine tasting before returning to camp for another sunset yoga session, gourmet dinner and star gazing. Day 3 we switched it up with sunrise yoga and the spectacular Williams Lake Trailhead hike before returning to Taos and some heartfelt goodbyes. The attention to detail, knowledgeable and passionate tour guides that share their love for the truly enchanting New Mexican land and people make this Glamper full of gratitude for the kindness and excellent service of the entire Heritage Inspirations team! 😍

Snowshoe Adventure

Jan 2020

Booked this tour for a girls trip to Santa Fe. This was the highlight of our trip and cannot say enough good things about the tour. I was a little worried at first due to the prices but it was worth every penny and more! We looked at doing snowshoeing in Santa Fe but would highly recommend this tour in Taos over Santa Fe. The Lodge that you meet Angelisa was beautiful and offered us free beverages and a nice sitting area to wait. The scenic drive with Angelisa was beautiful and Angelisa was quick to point out sights to take in and share her abundance of knowledge of the area. It was just the 3 of us on the tour so she was able to adapt the tour to our group and we were able to explore trails, valleys and off road and make our own path. After a couple hours of snowshoeing we were treated to a tailgating picnic and hot beverages. This tour is 100% worth it. The scenery is amazing and Angelisa is so knowledgeable of the area. Do not hesitate to book this or any of her other tours!

Hello and thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience! Isn't the drive up and the snowshoeing location just divine?! And the delicious lunch tastes even better with a warm beverage in hand at our tailgating location. We've had great snows in the Taos region this winter so we're glad you were able to enjoy it. We understand that price can be an issue and we ALWAYS strive to provide all of our guests with a top quality experience and to impart as much knowledge and appreciate of New Mexico as possible so you walk away feeling like you had an invaluable time. This means we've accomplished our goal for you. We hope you're able to join us again in the future. Safe travels home. The Heritage Inspirations Family

Where do I start....I took the E-Bike tour in Albuquerque...

I could drive around Albuquerque all day and never understand the culture, the art and the treasures that Albuquerque offers.

Bobby, our tour guide, knew the history of the murals and was able to breakdown the meaning of the mosaic work that surrounds the Albuquerque Convention Center. His love and knowledge of the history of Albuquerque was invaluable.

The tour took us through so many different parts of Albuquerque that I felt like I really got a feel for the bigger picture of the Duke City.

If I sound excited its because I am. The tour left me wanting to do it again.

Next time I want to do the Bosque E-Bike your!

High Road To Chimayo

Mar 2023 • Business

On a recent retreat week that I organize in Taos, I took 9 people from my group on the wonderful Heritage Inspiration’s High Road to Chimayo tour on a snow globe of a day. This is the 9th trip I’ve organized for my group (since 2018) with Angelisa and each one has been a unique adventure. Navigating the snowy roads in her trusty and comfortable van, we traversed the road gaining elevation up to Trampas, NM where we were able to see not only the historic exterior, but the magnificent 18th C interior (currently under restoration), of the San José de Gracia church. Winding our way down the hill to the little village of Chimayo, we had time to wander the sacred and historic Santuario de Chimayo and visit 2 weaving studios still run by storied, multi-generational weaving families. Then lunch! We tucked into steaming plates of enchiladas, filled with the adventure, history, beauty and weather of the day! I would recommend this excellent tour to anyone wanting to learn more about the deep, scared and artistic history of Northern New Mexico.

I did a bike tour yesterday morning and it was such a fun way to get to know the city. I was able to hear great stories about the founding of the city along with seeing the architecture and neighborhoods of the town. My guide was well-versed and very courteous I would recommend this excursion to everyone!

Taos Wild!

Jul 2020 • Couples

This is the second tour we’ve done with Heritage Inspirations and the second tour with tour guide Katie! It was equally amazing, giving us a different lens and experience of this area which we loved! Katie our guide is so knowledgeable about EVERYTHING Taos! She had previously guided us through the Taos town and on this adventure we started with an EPIC drive south of Taos, were meandering alongside the Rio Grande River, driving up through the Gorge to park at the Vista Verde Trailhead for a beautiful out and back hike in search of big horn sheep and other wildlife, and learning about the native plants, geology, history, culture, and so much more! The hike was lovely, leisurely paced, mostly level, and would be great for most anyone. The views were just incredible including some cool petroglyphs along the way. The end of the trail provided a really incredible lookout into the gorge from above. Now most tours would probably send you on your way from here...but wait there is SO much more! After finishing our hike we headed up & out of the gorge to the Earthship Visitor Center. Very Cool stuff happening here and being able to tour an Earthship and see what an actual home would look like was really great! We had an awesome day doing so many different things in one tour! I believe from here the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge is the next and final stop. We had already spent time here and hiked the West Rim trail so we said our Goodbyes from the EarthShip location. We had a splendid day. Could we have done some of these things on our own - well yes - but would we have gotten the same thing out of those experiences - NO WAY! We thoroughly enjoyed each aspect of this tour and we learned so much while enjoying the landscape at the same time. We highly recommend this tour and any tour from Heritage Inspirations! They truly want to share their passion and knowledge for this special area with you so that you too can experience the magic!Thanks Katie! Thanks Angelisa!

Another wonderful, soulful, educational experience with Angelisa and Heritage Inspirations! I have taken my retreat group on 6 “field trips” with HI and this one was exceptional. Norma graciously invited us into her beautiful home and we learned to bake fruit empanadas in their traditional horno oven. Stories were told around her big dining room table as we had a delicious lunch of indian fry bread tacos. We learned about traditional foods and the work being done on the Ohkay Owingeh pueblo to rehabilitate traditional housing and build community. We also enjoyed our stop at the historic Los Luceros hacienda, capilla (chapel) and apple orchard property, learning about the fascinating ancient and early 20th century history of the land and farm. The restored hacienda is beautiful, a step back in time. If you are interested in learning more about northern New Mexico pueblo life, culture and history of the area, I highly recommend this trip with Heritage Inspirations.

A bucket list event

Apr 2021

My husband and I just spent the weekend at Chaco Canyon on a "glamping" tour. What a thrill! The monument is spectacular - an unbelievable testament to the engineering, astronomical, agricultural and cultural knowledge that the ancient Pueblo peoples had. The vigas used in construction (large logs used for supporting walls, floors and roofs were sourced about 80 miles away. These people did not have horses at that point (not introduced yet by the Spaniards) so it is surmised that they were rolled to the Canyon. I think about 200,000 logs were used.

Our guide, Bobby, was a literal font of knowledge. A 14th generation New Mexican with both Hispanic and Nativ American heritage, he was so helpful in putting the dwellings in context, both architecturally and culturally.

The "glamping" adventure was terrific. Because of covid, the usual group camp sites were closed so our small group of 12 was spread around individual camp sites. This was the first time the crew had used this configuration so it took a bit longer to get food delivered to your tent/picnic table, but our needs were so well taken care of. The tents were spacious with a good memory foam mattress, pillows and blankets. We had a propane heater as the overnight temp was in the 30's. While my husband and I did not participate in all of the hikes, the pics from friends who did brought back great images from high above the canyon floor. It was the new moon, so watching the Milkey Way unfold before our eyes was a spectacular end to the day.

Bottom line - if you are lucky enough to snag a reservation take it! The trip and the crew will not disappoint!

What a beautiful and detailed review that we greatly value. It was a delight hosting you and your pod in Chaco Canyon last week during the April New Moon! It's inspiring to read about your encounter with Chaco and all that you learned with our guides along the way. We greatly appreciate that you allowed us to host you Glamping in Chaco and love reading about your encounter with the Night Sky, it was a memorable night! We hope to see you all again in the near future. Thanks so much for your raving review!

E-Bike Tour of Santa Fe

Oct 2020

This is a way to see Santa Fe as you never have. The e-bikes are easy to ride and I was pleased that even though I am short (5'2"), I was able to easily sit on the seat and touch the ground. Our guide took us all over including Cross of the Martyrs, down Canyon Road, up to Museum Hill and to the Randal Davies Home and the Railyard as well as through lovely residential neighborhoods. I am 75 and found the e-bikes make a huge difference on hills while still giving you the chance to ride and experience the bike. You choose how much help you want or need.
