Learning about different cultures is a part of every Crossroads trip. Ever wonder what it is like to walk among cave dwellings and petroglyphs that are over a thousand years old or to bake traditional bread on a Native American Reservation? These are just two of the many activities in which we participate to learn about the living traditions of a developing community.
Adventure is built into every trip. This might include swimming or floating the Rio Grande river, hiking to Williams Lake at Taos Mountain, or walking the same paths of the Anasazi tribes from a thousand years ago, it’s all about appreciating the natural beauty of the region and having fun at the same time.
Our trips to Taos, New Mexico are designed for small groups students and adult leaders to engage in a travel excursion that highlights community service, cultural awareness, and outdoor adventure. Each trip is led by committed educators who recognize that one of the most profound ways to create global understanding is to immerse students in different cultures around the world.
