| NEW MEXICO is the most ethnically and culturally diverse of all the states. Evidence of the region's rich heritage is everywhere, from ancient hieroglyphs to cliff dwellings. It was the base for the top-secret Manhattan Project, which built and detonated the first atomic bomb, now is home to America's premier weapons research. People here work close to the land with mining, farming and ranching. Northern New Mexico centres on magnificent landscapes of Rio Grande Valley, with its two finest cities: Santa Fe, the sun-dried brick capital, and the artists' colony and winter resort of Taos.
