La Fonda on the Plaza, the iconic hotel and art destination in downtown Santa Fe, is celebrating 100 years since the beginning of Indian Detours, a program that offered visitors to the Southwest an immersive experience inside Native American communities. The tour company was formed in 1926 by Fred Harvey, whose various companies supported travel and adventure into the American West and Southwest.
Marking 100 years since the creation of Indian Detours, La Fonda is offering a similar experience in a partnership with Passport to Pueblo Country, which will take hotel guests into the pueblos of Northern New Mexico with Native American guides.
“La Fonda on the Plaza proudly celebrates 100 years of Indian Detours with a reimagined cultural journey rooted in authentic connection and storytelling. In partnership with Passport to Pueblo Country, La Fonda now offers curated tours and stay packages that honor the historic legacy of Fred Harvey’s Indian Detours while embracing a more meaningful and contemporary perspective,” the hotel announced in a press release. “Led in collaboration with Native American guides and cultural stewards, these experiences invite guests to explore the distinct histories, traditions and living cultures of the pueblo communities through the voices of those who know them best. This thoughtful evolution honors the spirit of discovery that defined Indian Detours while creating deeper opportunities for cultural understanding, respect and connection across the American Southwest.”
One of the trips is a guided walk through San Ildefonso Pueblo that includes a pottery demonstration, sampling of Feast Day foods and a hike on the Tsankawi Ancestral Trail in Bandelier National Monument.
