Santa
Fe
Santa Fe, New Mexico is one of the great destination cities of the
world. For tourists, meeting planners and business people alike,
Santa Fe provides an unparalleled quality of life, making it a desirable
location for your next vacation getaway, convention or ski trip.
Santa Fe is nestled in the foothills,
at the southern tip of the Rocky Mountains at an altitude of 7,000
feet. The city occupies 33.4 square miles in a valley above the
Rio Grande amongst mountains that reach to over 12,000 feet. Thousands
of acres of National Forest and wilderness surround the city, and
yet it is only an hour's drive to the Albuquerque International
Airport. Known as the "City Different," Santa Fe supports
both historic culture and modern technology, while offering an outstanding
quality of life for both young and old. It is the oldest state capital
in the country, founded in 1610, and at one time all lands west
of the Mississippi were governed from the Palace of the Governors
on the Santa Fe Plaza.
