There’s A Tiny Town In New Mexico Completely Surrounded By Breathtaking Natural Beauty
New Mexican landscapes are associated with dramatic rock formations and vibrant colors. Although the bar for breathtaking scenery is set high, there is one place where the colors are a little deeper and the natural beauty halts even the most jaded travelers in their tracks. Offering a natural amphitheater, a lake, a lavender farm, and a unique history, the town of Abiquiu is one that you’ll want to visit.

Abiquiu was on the Old Spanish Trail, a trade route that once connected Santa Fe to Los Angeles. Despite its diminutive size, the town has long been a trading hub.

Now it’s a place to tuck into a breakfast burrito or juicy green chile cheeseburger.


Aside from the warm waters, one of the best reasons to visit Abiquiu Lake is for the views. Check out the vivid rocks that surround the lake, and the vista of Pedernal from the dam.


This is Kitchen Mesa - a true natural wonder.




That’s a farm fragrance you’ll actually want to inhale!
