If you’re looking for a vacation that combines history, outdoor activities, plenty of sunshine, and unique cultural elements, New Mexico should be at the top of your list. Nicknamed “The Land of Enchantment,” New Mexico is something of a hidden gem on the United States map. While places like Phoenix or Las Vegas may get most of the attention out west, New Mexico is full of treasures just waiting to be explored, from the heavily-photographed Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta to the 1,000-year-old UNESCO World Heritage Site of Taos Pueblo.
