Taos Glamping Expedition & Perseid Meteor Shower

Every August, the Earth passes through the dust of an ancient comet and the Perseids arrive, the most spectacular meteor shower of the year. In Northern New Mexico, where the air is thin and the night skies run unspoiled for miles, it is a show worth traveling for. This expedition is built entirely around it: three days and two nights that pair the culture of the high desert with its wildest country, and end each evening with your eyes on the sky.

The journey begins in Santa Fe and climbs the High Road to Taos, a storied route through mountain villages and piñon country, with a stop at Taos Pueblo to bake bread in a traditional horno. From there you retreat to a remote plateau where the mesas meet the mountains, and settle into a luxury camp with farm-to-table feasts prepared on site. Days are spent adventuring into Taos's wild beauty, riding horseback across open country, paddling the river, and hiking high alpine trails.

Then the sun goes down and the real spectacle begins. Our Cultural Astronomer gathers the group beneath a sky untouched by city light, tracing constellations and their stories while the Perseids streak overhead. With only a handful of guests, every detail handled, and nothing overhead but the falling sky, it is a rare blend of culture, nature, and pure wonder.
