Our nation's history would not be complete without the story of Santa Fe​

Discover santa fe's history, with local historian ana pacheco, history tour of city, this nation’s history would not be complete without the story of santa fe. embark on the ultimate historical tour, santa fe revisited., watch tour video.

Santa Fe Revisited is an in-depth and unique tour of this nation’s oldest capitol city. The narrative begins with a panoramic view of Santa Fe and the history of the descendants of the Ancestral Puebloans (Anasazi), who migrated to the region around 1100 AD. The chronological tour unfolds as the first European (Spanish) settlement in the Southwest is established in 1610. The conflict that arises from the melding of these two cultures results in the Pueblo Revolt of 1680, forever changing the history of New Mexico. More conflicts arise when the Mexican and American governments take control in 1821 and 1846, respectively, and with the American Civil War in 1862. Fast forward to the 20th century and Santa Fe becomes world renowned as a major cultural center, a mecca of spiritual transformation and home to the atomic age. The scenic three-hour tour of Santa Fe recaps four hundred years of history narrated by Ana Pacheco, the former City Historian of Santa Fe and the author of eight books on New Mexico history, whose family settled in Santa Fe in 1692.

About Us  

The Original Santa Fe and Canyon Road Walking Map was created in 1975 by Jesse Taylor.  His hand drawn buildings and images became a delight for visitors, who would discover new buildings and businesses with every return visit to Santa Fe. Over time, the map became a staple of the concierge and tourism industry in Santa Fe.

Today, the Santa Fe Walking Map is used by over 300 hotels and businesses, and continues to be visitors’ first choice as a map and guide for the city. Please feel free to contact us if you need a map, or if you have any questions. We look forward to helping you Discover Santa Fe!

A Thought About Physical Maps and Cell Phones

Even though maps have become a cell-phone standard, the Santa Fe Walking Map still remains relevant and sought after. The map draws attention to businesses that may not show up on google maps, and allows visitors to find businesses they haven’t thought to search for online. It also works just fine in the sun or rain, doesn’t have to contend with screen glare, and won’t run out of batteries!

A good travel guide or map does three things: It shows you where you want to go, lets you know how to get there, and introduces you to potential locations and attractions that you aren’t aware of yet. Our map has done this for over 40 years. Let us help you find your new favorite Santa Fe spot; and you can save the cell phone battery for when you get there.

Our Clients Say  

I am I glad brought several walking maps home after my last trip.  The maps have all be given away and I am in need of more.  I have recently started working in Wichita, KS which is just a day’s drive away and I’m enjoying getting there more often.  I have run into a lot of people that have heard that Santa Fe is a great place to visit but just haven’t made it there yet.   One of the things I really like about Santa Fe is it can be a place where you drive in,  park your car and not get in it till you leave.  I have used the map to mark suggested places to stay, eat and explore within walking distance of the Plaza.  Several of my Wichita friends have come back saying how helpful the walking map was to there visit.  I can remember these maps from my first trips to Santa Fe in the 70’s and always look forward to checking out the latest revision.

“I couldn’t wait to look them over, and have already spotted some of the restaurants we want to try, and also located the parking lots. Now to start perusing for shops and sights. These are the BEST maps.” Carolyn and Jack Wells

“We really enjoy sharing the Santa Fe Walking maps with all our out-of-state cliental. All of our people come from out of state and it’s really one of the best maps. They are so easy to read and use. The user-friendly layout makes it easy to locate restaurants, attractions and galleries.” Lydia Griego-Hansen, Owner; Destination Southwest.

“The Santa Fe Walking Map was just the ticket for our convention attendees — all women motorcyclists from all over the United States and Canada.  Was a wonderful tool to find our way to Santa Fe’s fabulous restaurants, museums and shopping.  The map was the most commented item in the convention goodie bag — thank you!!” Leanne B., Colorado 

We included a copy of the Santa Fe Walking Map in guests’ gift bags at our son’s wedding, and they were a big hit – so helpful to all our out-of-town guests! We had friends and family coming to town from all over the country, many of whom had never visited Santa Fe, so your map really helped them while exploring and shopping while they were here.  Many thanks for your excellent maps!
