“Our adventure with Heritage Inspirations was nothing short of magical! From the moment we began with a beautiful dinner at the Inn of the Five Graces in Santa Fe, we knew we were in for something special. The setting, the service, and the food were all exceptional. The glamping experience above Taos was absolutely incredible—comfortable, scenic, and truly immersive. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, and the meals throughout the trip were delicious. We felt completely cared for and inspired the entire time. A huge thank you to Angelisa Murray, the owner and visionary behind Heritage Inspirations. Her passion, attentiveness, and deep knowledge of the region made the journey even more meaningful. We had such a great time—we would do it again in a heartbeat. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a unique, elevated, and soulful New Mexico experience!

IN OUR IMMERSIVE TAOS GLAMPING EXPERIENCE
Your 5 Day & 4 Night Overview
Day One | A Journey Into Heart of Taos’ Living Heritage
Begin your adventure with a scenic journey along the historic High Road to Taos, arriving at the Tiwa village of the Red Willow people, Taos Pueblo. Immerse yourself in the living history of Taos Pueblo, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where you'll bake traditional horno bread under the guidance of Taos Pueblo tribal member Geronimo Romero. Gain insight into the art and heritage of horno baking, savor a
traditional Puebloan lunch, and explore the historic adobe structures that have been continuously inhabited for over 1,000 years.
Next, venture to the Rio Grande del Norte National Monument for a breathtaking horseback ride through the piñon and sagebrush-studded Taos Plateau. Take in the vast volcanic landscapes and connect deeply with the serene beauty of the high desert.
Arriving at your Glamping Basecamp, you'll be welcomed with refreshing drinks, luxurious accommodations, and an optional sunset yoga session to ground yourself in this wild, remote sanctuary. As night falls, indulge in a multi-course gourmet dinner paired with fine New Mexican wines, surrounded by the fragrance of sagebrush and the tranquility of nature.
End the evening under a blanket of stars with a guided stargazing session led by Dr. Danielle Adams. Witness the magic of the Perseid Meteor Showers, the Belt of Venus, and other celestial wonders before retreating to your luxury canvas tent for a peaceful night’s rest. Let the high desert air and radiant Milky Way inspire your dreams for the adventures ahead.
Savor. Connect. Indulge in the Night Sky.
Day Two | Water, Wine, and Celestial Connections
Begin your day paddling the scenic Rio Grande Gorge with New Mexico River Adventures, choosing between a kayak or stand-up paddleboard. Glide through the basalt canyon walls of the Rio Grande del Norte National Monument, connecting deeply with the river’s natural beauty.
Afterward, enjoy a chef-curated lunch at Vivác Winery in Dixon, where exquisite New Mexican wines are paired with a gourmet meal in a serene vineyard setting.
Return to your Glamping Basecamp for an afternoon of relaxation or optional activities like restorative yoga or crafting a sage and piñon smudge stick inspired by Taos Pueblo traditions.
As evening falls, dine under the stars with a farm-to-table meal paired with local wines. Conclude the night with a cultural astronomy session led by Dr. Danielle Adams, exploring celestial myths, archaeoastronomy, and the dazzling Perseid Meteor Shower. Drift to sleep in your luxury tent under the vast high-desert sky.
Savor. Connect. Indulge in the Night Sky.
Day Three | Ascending into Taos’ Alpine Majesty
Start your final day with optional sunrise yoga, followed by a thoughtfully prepared gourmet breakfast at our tranquil Glamping Basecamp. From there, journey into the alpine splendor of Carson National Forest for a hike to Williams Lake, cradled at 11,040 feet beneath New Mexico’s tallest peaks. Surrounded by lush spruce forests, wildflower meadows, and the gentle hum of nature, pause to enjoy a nourishing chef-prepared lunch and reflect on the breathtaking diversity of Taos’ landscapes—from its sagebrush desert floor to its towering mountain heights.
As the sun warms your face, feel the quiet connection this place inspires. By the time we return to Taos’ El Monte Sagrado Resort for farewells, you’ll leave not just with memories, but with a piece of Taos woven into your spirit—a timeless reminder of its beauty, balance, and magic.

What is Glamping?
Glamping is one of our deepest passions because it combines remote outdoor experiences, with luxurious camping facilities, so you do not have to forsake pleasure and comfort while experiencing our great, but hard to reach, outdoor locations. It’s a way to experience the untamed and completely unique parts of the world, like in the Rio Grande Gorge and Valley, without having to sacrifice creature comforts. You can enjoy a fusion of glamour and camping, glamping, while authentically experiencing the most awe-inspiring night sky of the Taos Plateau in a comfortable canvas tent, with non-camplike amenities, such as foam pad bedding, bedside table and canvas chairs. Glamping in luxury while doing sunset yoga, eating farm to table fresh meals, and connecting within and without – it can’t get much better than that!
All activities are designed to meet you at your level, either expert of beginner. For our Stand-Up Paddle Boarding experience, we join expert guides who will offer you a safe, adventurous and informative opportunity to quickly adapt to your board and paddle.
Your Expedition
Our Taos Perseids Meteor Shower Expedition is an extended 5-night journey designed to create lasting memories. Witness one of nature’s most spectacular shows—the Perseids Meteor Shower—during a once-a-year occasion in the high desert skies of Taos, New Mexico.
A Celestial Event
At night, you’ll be astounded by a sky lit by the glowing Milky Way and the annual Perseid Meteor Shower among thousands of resplendent stars perched within the Rio Grande del Norte National Monument. Far from the light pollution of city skies, you’ll have the opportunity to reconnect to the rhythms and motions of the starry vault as we ponder the ancient astronomy of ancestral Puebloans. Led by a knowledgeable and enthusiastic cultural astronomer, you’ll go on a laser-guided tour of ancient Arabian skies, enriched with the cultural backstories of star names that we still use today and supplemented by telescopic views of planets, star clusters and distant galaxies.
What is Cultural Astronomy?
Cultural astronomy is the study of how societies relate to celestial objects and their appearance in the sky. Drawing from astronomy, social science and the humanities, cultural astronomers don’t study the physical properties of the stars themselves, but rather the ways that people draw constellations among the stars and tell stories about them. Cultural astronomy that focuses on ancient built structures is called archaeoastronomy.

We invite you to enjoy the views out of your luxurious glamping tent, eat healthy decadent meals we prepare for you, sweat and savor the landscape through organized guided yoga, hiking and stand-up paddle boarding.
Glamping Base Camp
Upon arrival at our exquisite glamping base camps, you’ll be treated to seasonal, multi-course gourmet meals meticulously prepared by our talented executive Glamping Chef, Josh Willette. Your accommodations will go far beyond the typical camping experience, featuring spacious canvas tents equipped with luxurious amenities such as raised wooden bed frames, memory foam mattresses, bedside tables, comfortable butterfly canvas chairs, plush rugs, and enchanting southwest textiles.
The Five Graces
While we transport you to New Mexico’s dream landscapes, The Inn of the Five Graces will not only provide the anchor to your journey but will also ground you spiritually in the heart of the City Different. This Relais & Châteaux property is known for its exquisite guest experience, with deeply luxurious guest suites that are carefully planned oases of beauty and relaxation. In 2025, we’re enhancing our offerings with private excursions that channel this attention to detail and magical spirit. Additionally, we’ll host a pre-trip welcome gathering with drinks and appetizers, and provide special add-ons like spa days to bookend your journey.

Inspired Executive Chef
JOSH WILLETTE
Josh grew up in Taos but traveled around the West as he developed his culinary career. In Napa, Josh ran a catering company called Smoke Open Fire Catering. The premise of the company was to cook in front of the guests, using only local meats and vegetables, on an open fire and in a rustic outdoor setting. These dinners were often held at wineries and served as extravagant wine paired meals. “I got to work very closely with not only the wineries, but with the growers and farmers in the area, to create experiences that combined a rustic feel with the elevated quality of fine dining. The experience is similar to what we create with the glamping excursions at H.I.,” Josh explains.

Kari wants to help clear your mind of can’t and inspire you to find your best self both on and off the mat. A Yoga and Fitness Instructor based in Taos, NM, Kari was led to yoga as a compliment to athletic endeavours in her youth and her teaching began as a process of answering other people’s inquiries about a practice she found more from than just a good stretch. In an effort to advise, Kari sought deeper training in yoga and yoga philosophy and that opened the door to so much more. Further studies led to a focus on body specific care such as: Hip Bliss, Shoulder Recovery, Myofascial Release, and Yoga and the Aging Body. Kari challenges her students to develop strength and resilience through awareness and to get stale energy moving through and out of the body with classes such as Yoga for Stressed Bodies, Fundamentals for all Level yogis, Cardio Yoga Sculpt, Vinyasa Flow, Mindful Morning, Restore & Relax and more.
Kari particularly likes to work with yoga nay-sayers to show them how the practice can keep us doing the things that we love.
