Spring Break | Ultra-Relaxing 5-Day New Mexico Travel Guide 🚗

A laid-back itinerary perfect for unwinding during spring break—think hot springs, sunny deserts, and iconic spots! Day 1: Arrive in Albuquerque (ABQ) 🏨 Accommodation: Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs Resort & SpaThis is one of the area’s only natural mineral spring resorts. It has just one on-site restaurant, so if you’re staying overnight, consider bringing some extra snacks/food.Fun fact: There’s another Ojo location in downtown Santa Fe—it’s also great, and I heard you can pet dogs there! 🐶 Day 2: Explore Santa Fe Morning/Day: Wander around Santa Fe Plaza (the heart of downtown, full of charm). Take photos at Inn and Spa at Loretto (iconic adobe architecture—super photogenic 📸). Visit The Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi (serene and beautiful). Important: Pack warm clothes! Even during spring break (March), hail is common here ❄️. Dinner: GeronimoBoth the service and food are fantastic—definitely worth trying. Pro tip: Make a reservation in advance! 🏨 Accommodation: El Rey InnPerfect for photo lovers—its Southwest-style decor makes for great OOTD shots! Day 3: Santa Fe → White Sands National Park Lunch: Grab a bite in Santa Fe before hitting the road. White Sands Visit: Aim to arrive around 5:30 PM to catch the sunset (sunset is around 7 PM this time of year). Budget hack: After 6 PM, you don’t need to pay for entry—great for latecomers! #SpringBreak #NewMexicoTravel #Albuquerque #SantaFe #WhiteSands #BreakingBadSpots
