• Pilar - This breathtaking stretch of the Rio Grande in New Mexico is considered one of the most beautiful areas in the state. Creative types have flocked here for generations, drawn by the gorgeous scenery and inspirational landscape. Are you ready to slow down, wander freely, and tap into your own creativity?

This unique adventure is a creative retreat and walking journey along the majestic lower Rio Grande Gorge. Time to dive deeper into the power and splendor of nature’s beauty on the Rio Grande.

Your guide and creativity facilitator Tara will kick things off remotely and provide your mission prompts before you head out on your adventure. You’ll start at a local artist’s studio on the banks of the Rio Grande, then wander mindfully along the river with creative challenges along the way.

Unlike active, fast-paced scavenger hunts, this is a more relaxed, reflective experience. Expect some magic, peace, and the soothing sounds of nature, free of wifi and cell reception. The journey itself is the reward.

Please be aware that the OVERVIEW description, created by Viator (whose representatives have never participated in this activity), refers to this as both a tour and scavenger hunt and suggests I will be presenting on the river’s ecosystem. Regrettably, these inaccuracies are difficult for a provider to modify.

This activity is excellent for those who are the right fit, and I have no intentions of misleading anyone. I engage and communicate with my guests via WhatsApp.

Please understand, this is not a conventional hiking tour. As a host of scavenger hunts in Taos and Santa Fe, I clarify that this experience does not align with the typical dynamism of a scavenger hunt. It’s less hurried, involves creativity, and focuses on fostering a bond with nature through creative exercises.

While I do provide intriguing information about the region, I’m not a trained biologist capable of giving a detailed account of the river’s ecosystem.

Keep in mind if you’re planning to participate solo, while I’m more than happy to host you, I can’t guarantee a group for you to join. If you’re planning to book alone, being comfortable with solitude on hiking trails is an essential prerequisite.

• I do not recommend this adventure for solo travelers. No team mates can be provided for you.
• The designed course does take you on a hiking trail that is only moderate and about 4 miles and you are encouraged to go slow. However if someone is drawn to this experience but cannot hike, an altered version of this experience without hiking will be customized.Feel free to contact your host with questions.
• Guests understand there is no refund for cancelations less than 24 hours prior to the game.

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
