My wife and I took a day tour with Mae. We lived in New Mexico for a short period of time in the mid-nineties, but we had never explored the areas as extensively as on our tour. This is definitely the way to go to find out about the geology, archaeology and history of this area. I think we'll definitely look Mae up again to book another tour. There is no substitute for having local knowledge and expertise to help you discover Northern New Mexico.

Mae was informative, educational, and passionate about the land and PUEBLO people. Grateful for her time and this experience.

Recently took a multi day tour with Corn Maiden Mae going to the Acoma Sky City, Jemez Pueblo, Bandolier National Monument, Puye Cliffs, Santa Fe, and Taos. Having taken tours with Mae earlier this year in July, I knew what to expect which was a very interesting, informative and visually stunning experience. She didn't disappoint. Had the special opportunity as well to visit a buffalo ranch in Taos owned by a native of the Taos Pueblo and had an up front and personal encounter with the buffalo. As before, found myself after my trip more drawn to New Mexico, its native peoples, cultures and dramatic natural scenery. Highly recommend booking an adventure with the Corn Maidens and escape to what is truly is " the land of enchantment."
