Introduction
With the oldest state capital in North America, in Santa Fe, and a rich cultural heritage of Native American, Hispanic and Anglo American, New Mexico is a fascinating place to visit. New Mexico has long attracted artists to the creative centres around Santa Fe and Taos and vibrant art scenes persist to this day. In the north forested peaks offer skiing in winter and cool retreats in the summer, along with vivid desert landscapes. To the south explore ancient Native American ruins at Bandelier National Monument and the captivating cave systems of Carlsbad Caverns.
