What are the most unique things to do in New Mexico?

The Land of Enchantment is full of things to see and do that you would be hard-pressed to find anywhere else. For example, did you know that New Mexico has a musical highway? Indeed, a specific stretch of road near Albuquerque was used in an experiment where carefully spaced grooves in the road will play a song if you drive on them at exactly 45 mph. Another unique thing to do in the state is to visit the intricately hand-carved caves in La Madera. You can only explore them on a guided tour but the level of detail in the entirely manmade caves is astounding.

What one-of-a-kind destinations can I visit in New Mexico?

There are unique places in New Mexico that you can only experience here. For example, the White Sands National Monument consists of a desert that’s the only of its type and size in the world. The strikingly white gypsum sands are jaw-dropping to see in person, and fun, too. You can see giant origami sculptures in Los Cerrillos at Origami in the Park. The structures somehow manage to be both massive and still looking like delicately folded paper. They have a backdrop of red rocks and desert plants, giving them even more of a sense of whimsy.

What are the coolest attractions in New Mexico?

Head out and explore all that New Mexico has to offer by visiting some of the neatest attractions here. For interesting history, visit the Gila Cliff Dwellings that have been around for centuries. The Taos Pueblo is another historic spot that looks amazing and has been continuously lived in for not hundreds but thousands of years. If you want a literally cool place to have a refreshing swim while also being amazed, visit the Blue Hole in Santa Rosa. This strikingly colored swimming hole is incredibly deep. You can swim at the surface or even go diving down to its deep underwater caves.
