Beautiful Mountains Majesty
Located in the shadow of the Sandia Mountains, Albuquerque showcases this stunning view from every point in the city. During sunset, the colors change from pink to purple and green to blue.
Sandia means watermelon in Spanish. It is believed that the early settlers gave the name for the pinkish color of their granite peaks, and locals will tell you the Sandia mountains are nothing short of magical.
Sun for Days

Location Location Location
Albuquerque is conveniently located at the crossing of two major highways — the I-25 and the I-40, allowing easy access to major towns nearby. Denver, Colorado, is only a few hours north, and if you head west, you hit Phoenix, Arizona. And if you’ve got your sights on the south, only a few hours south is Mexico.
Texas towns Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio are about a day’s drive east, and if you drive west for 12 hours, you’ll reach Los Angeles or San Diego. Albuquerque is centralized, making it very easy for family and friends to visit.
A Cultural Mix of Events and Activities
While there are other beautiful, warm, and physically fit cities in the country, there is one thing that makes Albuquerque entirely unique — its culture. Albuquerque’s melting pot combines Mexican, Hispanic, and Native American cultures into a beautiful kaleidoscope of arts, crafts, music, and exciting events.
New Mexican Cuisine
New Mexican cuisine is best known for its unique blend of Native American and Spanish flavors. Most dishes are prepared with the signature ingredients: red and green chiles. The smokey flavor of freshly roasted green chiles and the earthy fruitiness of red chile sauce is the backbone of New Mexican cooking. It is simply superb, and it doesn’t taste nearly as divine elsewhere in the country.
