Santa Fe is the state capital though the largest city is Albuquerque, with other cities including Las Cruces, Rio Rancho, Roswell and the small but beautiful Taos.

New Mexico is a large state, but has little surface water. The New Mexican landscape varies from the rose-coloured deserts, to broken mesas (elevated land with a flat top) to snow-capped peaks), though, despite its aridity there are a number of forested mountain wildernesses especially in the northern part of the state. The Sangre de Cristo Mountains, part of the Rocky Mountains run north-south along the Rio Grande in the north.

There are many things of interest to the tourist in New Mexico, both outdoor activities and historical attractions. Sante Fe itself is a delight with its narrow streets lined with adobe homes, some dating from the 17th century – it is also famous for its museums (like the Georgia O’Keeffe museum) and art galleries. Taos too, is a mixture of ancient pueblo, Spanish and modern.

The Taos Ski Valley has world-class Skiing in a long winter season. The mountain area are also good for fishing, hiking and biking in summer.
