Albuquerque delivers a rich blend of culture, history and local flavour. Begin in Old Town Albuquerque, the city’s historic heart, where adobe buildings, artisan shops and galleries sit around the 18th-century San Felipe de Neri Church, creating an ideal setting for a relaxed stroll and souvenir shopping. Enjoy authentic New Mexican cuisine at a local restaurant, famous for its distinctive red and green chillies, before taking a ride on the Sandia Peak Tramway for sweeping views across the Rio Grande Valley and desert landscape, especially striking at sunset. If time allows, finish the evening downtown sampling the city’s craft breweries or live music scene, or unwind with a peaceful walk along the riverside Bosque Trail.

Santa Fe offers a captivating blend of art, history, and high-desert beauty, serving as your base for the next three nights and giving you ample time to explore. Begin at the historic Santa Fe Plaza, where centuries-old adobe architecture frames galleries, boutiques, and landmarks such as the Palace of the Governors. The city’s renowned art scene comes alive along Canyon Road, home to world-class galleries and sculpture gardens, while immersive experiences like Meow Wolf’s House of Eternal Return add a contemporary twist. Delve into Santa Fe’s cultural heritage at museums such as the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum, then savour the city’s acclaimed dining scene, where traditional New Mexican flavours meet modern Southwestern cuisine. Beyond the city centre, scenic drives and gentle hikes reveal striking desert landscapes and mountain backdrops, offering moments of calm between cultural discoveries and highlighting Santa Fe’s unique and creative spirit.

Head north towards Taos, which offers a striking blend of art, heritage, and dramatic scenery, giving a true taste of northern New Mexico’s character. Wander through Taos Plaza and the surrounding streets, where independent galleries, boutiques, and cafés showcase the town’s vibrant artistic spirit, then take in the breathtaking views of the Rio Grande Gorge, with the bridge providing sweeping canyon vistas and perfect photo opportunities. Along the way, enjoy hearty New Mexican cuisine or locally inspired dishes, soaking up the relaxed yet creative atmosphere that makes Taos so distinctive.

Today you will head to the beautiful town of Tucumcari, which captures the spirit of Route 66 with its colorful murals, vintage neon signs, and nostalgic motels, offering a glimpse into classic Americana. Stroll through the town to discover local art, quirky shops, and historic landmarks, then take in the striking desert landscapes and rolling mesas that surround the area.

Las Cruces is your next stop, combining rich history, vibrant culture, and stunning desert scenery, making it a captivating destination in southern New Mexico. Explore the historic Old Mesilla Plaza, where adobe buildings, artisan shops, and charming cafés reflect the town’s Spanish and Mexican heritage. For a touch of natural beauty, head to the Organ Mountains, where scenic trails and dramatic peaks offer unforgettable views.
