La Posada de Taos recently announced that we would be offering an Adventure Package that includes 4 nights in a premium room and your choice of one of the following: White Water Rafting, Horseback Riding, or the Llama Trek. For an additional $75 per person, guests can choose the Hot Air Balloon Ride through the Rio Grande Gorge outside Taos.
As the snow begins to melt in earnest and the Spring Storms bring wet snows to the region, the headwaters of the Rio Grande River will begin to rise and pick up speed heading south. Located in the San Juan Mountains northwest of Taos, the headwaters this year will be fed by a snow pack that is well above average. Huge storms have pounded the San Juan Mountains all winter long and more are expected to bring that needed moisture in the coming weeks. Although snow pack in the immediate vicinity of Taos is only 80% of normal, that will not adversely impact the white water rafting season.
Simply put, the White Water Season is here NOW and it's time to come and see what all the fuss is about. Here's a general video from Travel Guide New Mexico regarding Adventure Sports in Taos.

The White Water portion of the package is truly an exciting adventure and we wanted to fill in some details.
1. Any true package includes features that you cannot possibly buy separately for the same price or less elsewhere. In this case, the individual costs of rooms plus white water rafting trips for 2 would range from $1,100 to $1,300. Not only do we discount our rooms, but we discount the white water rafting trip and we pay the local lodger's tax. Total savings for guests booking La Posada de Taos' Adventure Package is substantial.
2. Local white water companies do not guarantee any particular run of the Rio Grande in advance due to changing weather and water conditions. Therefore, when you book with us, although we cannot guarantee the Taos Box is going to be available, the outfitter company does guarantee an amazing adventure somewhere in the nearby vicinity that will include some whitewater. In our experience the need to change away from the Taos Box can be governed primarily by extreme high or low water conditions as well as extreme weather. Although the need to change away from the box is rare, we believe in full disclosure.
3. White Water Rafting is a sport. This means that you need to be able to swim. All Taos outfitters insist that those participating in this sport on their rafts must be able to assist in their own rescue. Each person is provided with safety equipment including helmets, life vests and other gear the guide believes is necessary on the day of launch.
4. Children under 12 are not allowed on these trips and age restrictions rise with water levels, so be sure to check with us regarding age limitations. If you have children under 12, there are plenty of other white water choices right here in the vicinity for just about any age.
5. La Posada de Taos' Premium rooms are large and comfy. They have whirlpool style tubs and showers in the private bath. Each room has a private entrance and a wood-burning kiva fireplace. Each morning you will be provided with the full, multi-course breakfast prepared by one of our professional chefs and each day our housekeeping staff will refresh your room completely. Your Innkeeper will serve as your Concierge during your stay, assisting you in making restaurant reservations and directing you to and from the Adventure.
If you're ready, give your Innkeeper, Brad Malone a call today: (800) 645-4803.
