Planning a corporate event in Santa Fe or Albuquerque? A Tequila Burro gives your guests something they are unlikely to experience anywhere else: a friendly pack burro arriving at the reception carrying tequila, margaritas, beer, mocktails, or other beverages in traditional pack-saddle baskets.

A New Mexico Tradition With a Twist
Burros have been part of New Mexico and the Southwest for centuries. Introduced to the region by the Spanish, they later became essential working animals for miners, ranchers, travelers, and families. They carried food, water, tools, and supplies through country where wagons and vehicles could not go.
Our Tequila Burros put a modern spin on that history. Instead of mining tools, they carry the drinks. It is simple, fun, and immediately gives visiting guests a connection to New Mexico's Western and Southwestern culture.
Corporate Events in Santa Fe
Santa Fe is an ideal place for corporate retreats, conferences, incentive trips, and executive gatherings. The city already offers historic architecture, mountain scenery, art, food, and outdoor adventure. A Tequila Burro fits naturally into that setting.
The experience works especially well for outdoor receptions, welcome parties, cocktail hours, and private events at properties such as Bishop's Lodge, Four Seasons Resort Rancho Encantado Santa Fe, La Posada de Santa Fe, and La Fonda on the Plaza.
Groups staying near the Santa Fe Plaza can also build an itinerary around the Palace of the Governors and New Mexico History Museum, Canyon Road, local restaurants, and other historic Santa Fe attractions before finishing the day with a private reception.

Corporate Events in Albuquerque
For Albuquerque corporate events and retreats, a Tequila Burro offers the same distinctly New Mexico experience. It works well as a conference welcome, an evening reception, a client event, or the final activity after a day of meetings.
Hyatt Regency Tamaya Resort & Spa is a particularly natural fit for groups looking for a resort setting between Albuquerque and Santa Fe. Other Albuquerque-area corporate events can incorporate a burro experience as part of a larger New Mexico-themed reception or retreat.
Why a Tequila Burro Works for Corporate Groups
The burro becomes an instant icebreaker. Guests take photos, ask questions, and start conversations without needing a scheduled team-building exercise. For out-of-state attendees, it is also something clearly tied to the destination rather than another generic hotel cocktail hour.
Alcohol is not required. Our burros can carry beer, canned drinks, sparkling water, mocktails, snacks, gifts, or other items appropriate for the event.
Add a Guided Burro Hike or Tour
For groups wanting more than an evening reception, Burro & Company also offers guided burro hikes, pack-burro experiences, and customized tours. These can be added to a Santa Fe or Albuquerque corporate retreat as an outdoor team activity and a hands-on introduction to New Mexico's landscape and pack-burro history.
A group can spend the morning on the trail, hold meetings in the afternoon, and finish with a Tequila Burro reception that evening.

Make the Event Feel Like New Mexico
If your company is bringing employees, clients, or conference guests to New Mexico, give them an experience connected to the place they came to visit. Whether the event is at Bishop's Lodge, Four Seasons Rancho Encantado, La Posada, La Fonda, Hyatt Regency Tamaya, or another Santa Fe or Albuquerque venue, a Tequila Burro adds history, personality, and a memorable New Mexico moment.
Burro & Company provides Tequila Burros, event burros, guided hikes, and customized burro experiences for corporate events, retreats, conferences, and destination groups in Santa Fe, Albuquerque, and throughout New Mexico.
