Dulce Base Tipi Experience: Indigenous Hospitality, Apache History, Star Lore, and UFO Lore in Dulce, New Mexico

To the point

Three themed tipis near Dulce host Heather Gomez and Dustin Aguirre’s Dulce Base Tipi experience on Jicarilla Apache land, where guests join guided tours and share a frybread and Apache beef stew meal prepared by Gomez’s aunt Vellinda Julian while listening to stories that weave Apache history, local nature, UFO lore, and Bigfoot, and each tipi offers simple comforts and a respectful stewardship ethos, with nearby Ardovino’s Desert Crossing in Sunland Park noted for four restored vintage trailers and related nostalgia.
