Albuquerque

Albuquerque is New Mexico's largest city, nestled along the Rio Grande with the Sandia Mountains as its backdrop. Famous for hosting the world's largest hot air balloon festival each October, the city blends Native American, Spanish Colonial, and modern American cultures. Visitors can explore the historic Old Town, stroll Route 66, and visit the ancient Petroglyph National Monument, home to thousands of rock carvings made by Indigenous peoples.
