State description

The indigenous population of this picturesque, Indian-Latin American state – New Mexico call their land “enchanting”, describing the unique natural landscapes and ancient secrets of the Pueblo people who lived in New Mexico in the 12th century. Currently, New Mexico is the most important center of American Indian culture, with about 50 ethnic groups of the indigenous population preserved here (the most numerous is the Navajo people).

The state capital, Santa Fe, is rich in historical sights, like other major cities – Albuquerque, Las Cruces, Roswell, Farmington, Rio Rancho, Alamogordo.

New Mexico is located in the western United States and occupies a vast mountain-sandy area of ​​315,194 sq. km. Fascinating Land has borders with the states of Colorado in the north, Oklahoma in the northeast, Texas in the east, Arizona in the west, and Mexico – along the Rio Grande in the south. The state also has an unusual geographical feature: at the point with the self-explanatory name “Four Corners”, where the western border of the state flows into the southern one, the borders of four states intersect at an angle of 90 degrees (New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona, and Utah ).
