There’s no feeling like soaring above the city of Albuquerque, N.M. in what they call “the box” — a pocket of air that allows a skilled pilot to steer his airship with pinpoint accuracy. It’s a feeling we’ll never forget, thanks to our new friends at Rainbow Ryders.
The Hyatt Regency Tamaya does not look like a resort. That’s the whole point. It’s on tribal land, and is true to its native American roots in both look and feel. Before heading to dinner at its signature restaurant, the Corn Maiden, try an ancient drumming spa treatment. If you’re looking for authentic New Mexican food, there’s only one place to go: El Pinto.
Gotta wrap up the day with a campfire story by Shkeme, the resort’s storyteller.
