Pecos, NM:–  Las Posadas and the Farolito Walk are treasured holiday traditions at Pecos National Historical Park. Visitors from all over enjoy the beauty of the thousands of farolitos that line the Ancestral Sites Trail. Regretfully, unforeseen circumstances prevent us from being able to offer what we have in the past. Instead, Pecos NHP will honor its commitment to the Pecos community and local parish by hosting posadas for parishioners as part of the novena on December 19th. We hope to resume the tradition for the public next year.
