Breaking Bad

If you have seen the most popular TV show of the recent years, then you will never want to leave Albuquerque! We at Xplore offer a tour that takes you to the locations where the series was shot, riding in the actual, original camper! (yes, that one)

Santa Fe

We are sure that Santa Fe will stay in your heart: in this city at 2000m above sea level, founded in 1610, with its historic neighborhoods and adobe houses, you will find excellent art galleries and the spirit of Native Americans.

Attention: UFO!

The legend says that in 1947 a UFO crashed here...it was probably a prototype from the nearby military base but, nevertheless, today everything is centeredaround the alien business. It is definitely fun, if nothing.

White Sands dunes

Dunes made of the whitest sand, blue sky and blinding sun – that’s White Sands! A magical place where you can walk (or roll) on the dunes made of the finest white sand, not far from the town of Alamogordo.

The Saguaro

It’s not an animal but a cactus – symbol of the Saguaro National Park near Tucscon (and the symbol of the entire West). Here, you will find thousands of cacti but you might also encounter coyotes and desert tortoises.

Prices

The rates are per person, children younger than 16 years old sleeps free if they share the room with their parents.

Itinerary

1 ° day

Phoenix - Tucson

184

Phoenix doesn't have much to offer to tourists so we recommend you leave in the morning from this major Arizona city and make a few detours before reaching Tucson. The first one would be the Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument and the second one the more famous Saguaro National Park. Both are protected areas with small canyons and thousands of gigantic cacti that at dusk create a truly magical sight.

2 ° day

Tucson – El Paso

512

Again, we recommend a few detours on this drive from Tucson to El Paso. For instance, stop in Tombstone, the ghost town where the famous gunfight at the O.K. Corral took place and where it is reenacted every day by actors in historic costumes. Another ride would be to pass through Bisbee for an incredible tour of the mines. Afterwards, continue towards the beautiful and controversial El Paso, located on the border with Mexico.

3 ° day

El Paso

Day off to visit this city divided by the border in two: El Paso on the American side and Ciudad Juarez on the Mexican (and dangerous) side, connected by a bridge under strict control of the American authorities. The city is under heavy Mexican influence, both in architecture and in cuisine

4 ° day

El Paso – Roswell

331

Wake up early, as today you are going to the dunes and, in the late afternoon, to UFO city! First things first: drive from El Paso to Las Cruces and from there turn to Alamogordo. Right before the town, you will find the magnificent White Sands National Park, with white sand dunes waiting for you! The sight is truly spectacular in this national park created in a huge military test area...in fact, the first atomic bomb exploded nearby. Continue towards Roswell

5 ° day

Roswell – Santa Fe

309

Legends abound in Roswell and you will soon understand why. It is here they say the first UFO crashed in the summer of 1947 but truth be told it was probably just a military weather balloon. But, that's the official version no one believes, as you will see from so many billboards and posters of aliens and names of diners, bars and everything else in this small town! Take a walk and then continue north towards what is probably the most beautiful and the most unique place in New Mexico: Santa Fe.

6 ° day

Santa Fe

Santa Fe, located at 2000m above sea level, is a true gem with its adobe architecture and unique style, still under heavy Spanish and Mexican influence. Many art galleries and strong flavors of the local cuisine will enchant you. We recommend you also take a walk among the surrounding hills and their greenery.

7 ° day

Santa Fe - Albuquerque

105

Continue towards Albuquerque and its Old Town, with the gorgeous church of San Felipe de Neri. The presence of various Native American communities and Spanish and Mexican influence make Albuquerque particularly interesting for the passing tourist who wants to explore this particular reality, so different from the frantic life in most American major cities.

8 ° day

Albuquerque - Kayenta (Monument Valley)

476

From the city of Breaking Bad, which we recommend you visit, if you're a fan of the TV show, today you are moving west reentering Arizona across the enormous Navajo reservation. The final destination is the famous Monument Valley. The road is very pleasant and you will notice the scenery changing more and more as you approach Monument Valley. If you are lucky, you can enjoy a magnificent sunset, intense and fiery red as the land and the rocks that surround you. Overnight stay.

9 ° day

Kayenta (Monument Valley) - Sedona

292

Wake up at dawn to see this natural wonder once more. When you get to the entrance, you can take the foot path (Wild Cat Trail) which is short but very pretty, with the possibility to observe everything in peace and quiet, away from the tourists. The road to Sedona is very nice, and so is this Arizona city, where many Western movies were made between the 1950s and 1970s.

10 ° day

Sedona – Phoenix

190

The town is located in a magnificent area, made of canyons and red rocks. There are plenty of nice walks to have here or you can just relax in one of the cafes in the center. Go to the tourist center to get advice on interesting walks in the area, you won't regret it! In the evening, drive to Phoenix and return the car. End of tour.
