What to do and see in Chimayo, New Mexico (NM): The Best Budget-friendly Things to do

December 25, 2021 Kandra Bartel

Chimayó is a census-designated place (CDP) in Rio Arriba and Santa Fe counties in the U.S. state of New Mexico; the name derives from a Tewa name for a local landmark, the hill of Tsi Mayoh. The town is unincorporated and includes many neighborhoods, called plazas or placitas, each with its own name, including El Potrero de Chimayó (the plaza near Chimayó's communal pasture) and the Plaza del Cerro (plaza by the hill). The cluster of plazas called Chimayó lies near Santa Cruz about 25 miles north of Santa Fe. The population was 3,177 at the 2010 census.

Such a beautiful and holy place. We met the priest who was extremely nice and friendly. We got holy water blessed to bring back and some healing dirt. A peaceful, clean, lovely place to visit on our trip thru NM.

We arrived on a Wednesday and there weren’t many people. It was perfect. We visited the gift shop for candles that we offered in the church and enjoyed all its surroundings.

From jewelry to peppers, this place has it all. Very friendly staff and it's on the way to see the Church at Chimayo. Reasonable prices and huge selection of seasonings. Worth the stop.
