The correctly punctuated sentence is:

Juan plans to travel from Santa Fe, New Mexico, to Boulder, Colorado, for business.

Explanation:

Commas are punctuation marks used to show a brief pause or break in transition in a sentence. There are some rules to observe when using a comma, starting with the rule obeyed in the answering of this question, I will briefly explain them.

1. Commas are used to set off all geographical names: in the sentence; 'Juan plans to travel from Santa Fe, New Mexico, to Boulder, Colorado, for business', after 'Santa Fe', there is the introduction of a geographical name 'New Mexico', and by the rule, it is preceded by a comma. The same rule is observed with 'Boulder', introducing 'Colorado'. Also the use of a comma after 'Colorado' before 'for' is important, because it tells a change in transition, from naming a place, to the reason for going there, without which the phrase 'Colorado for business' will be considered just as one idea (the name of a place)

Other rules of using commas include:

a. commas are used to separate two or more independent clauses, when they are joined by the conjunctions: and, but, for, or, nor, so, or yet. Example, We wanted to come over but, the rain was heavy.

b. commas are used after introductory clauses, phrases, or words coming before the main sentence, e.g. Moreover, we still did it.

c. commas are used to set off and to end non-essential parts of a sentence. E.g. The big house, which was built long ago, was demolished.

d. commas are used to separate contrasting coordinating elements in a sentence to show a distinct pause or shift.

Example, Although he recently has an accident, he ran fast.

I suggest you check out the other rules of using comma, to help your understanding.

Read the passage from animal farm. "that was part of the arrangement! " cried squealer. "jones's shot only grazed him. i could show you this in his own writing, if you were able to read it. the plot was for snowball, at the critical moment, to give the signal for flight and leave the field to the enemy. and he very nearly succeeded—i will even say, comrades, he would have succeeded if it had not been for our heroic leader, comrade napoleon. do you not remember how, just at the moment when jones and his men had got inside the yard, snowball suddenly turned and fled, and many animals followed him? and do you not remember, too, that it was just at that moment, when panic was spreading and all seemed lost, that comrade napoleon sprang forward with a cry of 'death to humanity! ' and sank his teeth in jones's leg? surely you remember that, comrades? " exclaimed squealer, frisking from side to side. now when squealer described the scene so graphically, it seemed to the animals that they did remember it. at any rate, they remembered that at the critical moment of the battle snowball had turned to flee. but boxer was still a little uneasy. how does the characterization of squealer support the author’s purpose? squealer's dramatic accusations draw parallels between him and stalin’s propagandists. squealer's uncertainty shows that he is not a reliable ally of napoleon and is ineffective with messaging. squealer's ability to get the animals to listen to him shows that any animal can rise to be a leader in time. squealer's humble interactions with the animals reflect the importance of equality and cooperation.
