You Must Hacienda in New Mexico



















Hacienda Vargas B&B Inn & Chapel in
Algodones


Few roads evoke such romantic images of the American
Southwest as the El Camino Real. The historic route linking Mexico City and Santa Fe is one of the oldest thoroughfares in the United States.

Since the 16th Century explorers, soldiers, adventurers, and farmers have traveled this route seeking gold, land, and happiness. Into the 20th Century it continued to serve as a main highway by its designation as U.S. Route 66; making Albuquerque the transportation hub of New Mexico and of the entire Southwest. Hacienda Vargas is the only bed and breakfast Inn along the historic El Camino Real. Nestled in the Rio Grande Valley in the village of Algodones. The sights, sounds, and scents of New Mexico are to be found at Hacienda Vargas Bed and Breakfast Inn. For example, in the past the site was used both as a stagecoach stop and a train station. Today, the sound of the passing train establishes a unique and special link to the 19th Century; directly enhancing the New Mexico experience!

Because of its location on the El Camino Real, Hacienda Vargas Bed and Breakfast Inn has evolved into a romantic getaway for native New Mexicans. It is a testimony to the romantic ambiance to be found here. Some pledge their devotion to each other by exchanging marital vows in the Hacienda Vargas chapel and spending their wedding night in one of the suites with a private Jacuzzi and authentic Kiva fireplace. The adobe chapel, unchanged since its construction, has witnessed weddings on many occasions.
