North Central New Mexico consists of several major tourists’ destinations, including Santa Fe, Los Alamos, and Taos. In fact, 90% of the people that visit New Mexico come to North Central. Some come for the arts and culture of Santa Fe. Others come for outdoor adventures found in areas like Red, River, Chama, and Taos. Still others are attracted by the scientific legacy of Los Alamos, the historical traditions of Española Valley or the drama and color of the Northern Pueblos. And the unmatched scenery from the meandering course of the Rio Grande to the rugged heights of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains is one reason alone why North Central New Mexico is a popular destination.
