The state of NEW MEXICO is located in the four-corners region of the southwestern United States of America. Remember your U.S. history and geography? Need a refresher? To the east of New Mexico is Texas (and a small piece of the Oklahoma panhandle), to the west is Arizona, to the north is Colorado, and yes, the country of Mexico is to the south of us.

The state capitol, SANTA FE, is 55 miles north of ALBUQUERQUE, right off Interstate 25. EL PASO, TEXAS is 250 miles south, via Interstate 25. From ALBUQUERQUE to the west border is 153 miles and from ALBUQUERQUE to the east border is 206 miles. Travel east and west via Interstate 40 (in some parts this is the OLD ROUTE 66 HIGHWAY). ALBUQUERQUE is almost centrally located within the state. We hope to see you soon in THE LAND OF ENCHANTMENT. The water is OK to drink, a visa isn't required and we use American currency. We are very friendly people and there is plenty of sunshine to go around.
