ALBUQUERQUE Albuquerque lies in the Chihuahuan Desert at the crossroads of central New Mexico, where Interstate 40 intersects Interstate 25. This, the largest city in New Mexico, lies on a plain along the banks of the Rio Grande River at the base of the Sandia Mountains to the east. Albuquerque represents a synergy of Native American, Hispanic and Anglo cultures where traditional and modern cultures coexist. The University of New Mexico is centered in Albuquerque and Sandia National Laboratory brings science and technology to the city of the Old West. A number of Indian Reservations and Pueblos exist near the city.
