📍 Destination Overview
Albuquerque, New Mexico's largest city, sits along the Rio Grande at about 1,500 meters. Each October it hosts the International Balloon Fiesta, the world's largest hot-air balloon festival. Old Town preserves its 1706 Spanish colonial plan of adobe buildings, while Route 66's main street weaves high-desert charm into a sweeping, unhurried city.
