New Mexico True OVERview
Drying red chili bunches hanging in bright doorways, adobe pueblos and charming casitas: Authentic New Mexico is everywhere. Mesa country, with its wild caves and yawning caverns, reflects an unspoiled landscape, while museums and galleries showcase Native American culture. Events like Gathering of Nations Pow Wow introduce ancient rituals and ceremonial dances to the uninitiated against the backdrop of ancestral ruins and settlements.
New Mexico's inspired landscape includes painterly skies, snow-like drifts of sand and the Rio Grande's true blue. This state has soaring mountains as well as Blue Hole, a 24-meter-deep, crystal-clear pool. From caves to mineral springs, New Mexico's majesty offers horseback riding, skiing, hiking or healing mineral spring soaks year round.
Towns like Taos and Truth or Consequences maintain New Mexico’s creative heritage. From turquoise jewelry and folk art to Concho belts and pottery, take home a piece of culture rather than a souvenir. Don't leave without having a tortilla-and-banana or pine nut pancake for breakfast and a green chili burger, all real Mexican-Southwestern culinary delights.
