The Taos Pueblo, north of Santa Fe, has been continuously occupied for at least one thousand years. Santa Fe, the state’s capital, is the oldest capital city in the United States. From pinion and juniper forests in the north, to volcanoes, to canyons and rivers, to arid deserts in the south, the state has natural beauty in spades.
There is so much more to New Mexico than meets the eye. The communities that make up the state have been inhabited and traveled by indigenous peoples, European colonists, American settlers, and countless others.
New Mexico has a richly woven historical fabric dating back millennia.
