CEMS Alumni Events
The destination is Santa Fe, New Mexico, from September 18 to 21, 2008. CEMS Alumni and guests can soak up the history, art and culture that make Santa Fe one of the most interesting places to visit in the country.
Santa Fe is situated at the foothills of the Rocky Mountains in northern New Mexico. It is the oldest capital in the United States, and is referred to as "the City Different". It is well known for its Pueblo and Spanish Territorial styles of architecture, its artists and art galleries, museums, and the flora and fauna that are part of the beauty of its natural landscape.
Some of the sites included in the itineray are:
- Palace of the Governors, built in 1609, and other historic builings around the plaza
- Muesum Hill, including the International Folk Art Museum, the Museum of Indain Arts and Culture, and the Museum of Spanish Colonial Art
