About New Mexico
With its rich cultural heritage from Native American and Spanish settlers, New Mexico has been both a Spanish colony and a Mexican colony, and still retains a strong individual identity within the United States. The landscape is breathtaking, the food incredible, and there is a thriving cultural scene, all of which makes New Mexico, and Santa Fe in particular, a great place and a family friendly holiday destination all year round.
With the Rocky Mountains and the famous Route 66 both passing through New Mexico, there are some obvious attractions to explore, and that's before you consider taking a day out to explore Roswell to look for UFO wreckage, or Los Alamos (where the atomic bomb was developed). The other major towns are the capital Albuquerque (home of an amazing hot air balloon festival), and the tourist hotspot Santa Fe up in the mountains. Santa Fe is an artistic centre, and there are many museums and galleries to explore, as does nearby Taos. Santa Fe has a lot to recommend it, there's the art scene, the scenic beauty of this city at 7,000 feet, and then there's the diversity of the arts, food and people themselves. It has a very small, compact downtown, which is easy for a family to walk around, and a host of film festivals, art festivals, wine festivals and other special events throughout the year.

- ByMapa-Múndi Blog I Carolina CaioO que visitar em Santa Fe, Novo MexicoOs principais destinos escolhidos pelos brasileiros que vão aos Estados Unidos geralmente são Nova York, Orlando, Miami e Los Angeles; é difícil de imaginar um planejamento de viagem que envolva a região do Novo México. No entanto, apresentaremos uma cidade incrivelmente rica em cultura e arte: Santa Fé, capital do Novo México. Santa Fé, a segunda cidade mais antiga dos Estados Unidos, fica próxima de Albuquerque. Assim como o inglês, o espanhol também é considerado idioma oficial da região, proveniente da influência mexicana. Além disso, a influência indígena é também muito forte e pode ser compreendida a partir do artesanato e da arquitetura local. A cidade possui uma arquitetura singular, com construções feitas de adobe, uma mistura de barro com areia. Santa Fé é uma capital muito envolvida com artes e ao passear pela cidade, é fácil notar que as ruas são repletas de galerias. Na cidade, está localizada a Santa Fe University of Arts and Designs, que tem cursos de arte como destaque.

- ByParentsThe Family Vacation Guide to Santa FeAs we enter Santa Fe Plaza, a band is rocking on the outdoor stage. My sons, ages 7 and 5, instantly catch the energy, chasing each other across the grass, skipping along the paved paths, and hopping giddily from bench to bench amid the throngs of tourists. Nearly two centuries after it first greeted traders on the Santa Fe Trail, this thriving square -- appropriately dubbed the heart of Santa Fe -- still welcomes visitors with a unique mix of cultures. To one side, Native American craft vendors line the veranda of the historic Palace of the Governors, while along the other sides, cobblestone streets bustle with shops and restaurants. Throughout the city's old town, Spanish colonial and Pueblo-style architecture transport us to another place and time. We've visited my parents in Santa Fe every summer since the boys were born, and we've found it offers a rare combination of outdoor adventure and cultural exploration. At an elevation of 7,000 feet (higher than any other state capital), it also boasts 300 days of sunshine a year -- a welcome antidote to the seemingly endless winter of our Montana home.
