Durango, Colorado, USA. The city was founded in 1880 as a company town of legendary Rio Grande Railway. Its landscape is dominated by the red sandstone and beautiful Animas River Valley. In summer visitors come here to complete the Animas River Trail. But in winter they come to experience the magical Polar Express!
This is a very thoroughly thought trip. Based on the book and film, the steam locomotive takes families to the North Pole (which sprawls along the river). Kids in their pajamas are served hot chocolate, sing carol songs, listen to the story and are even paid a visit by Santa Claus himself! After the journey families can stay at the local hot springs resorts, that provide a wonderful relaxation and warmth.
Why to go there?
A truly exciting Christmas adventure for the families, especially with little children.
When to go there?
The Polar Express runs from 22 November to 3 January.
How to get there?
Get to the Durango-La Plata Airport from Denver International Airport and Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. Durango is also easily accessed by car.
