Hacienda Vargas is the only bed & breakfast inn along the historic El Camino Real. Nestled in the Rio Grande Valley in the village of Algodones, it continues to greet travelers and pilgrims as it has since the 17th Century. Algodones was originally founded as a military garrison to provide protection for the merchant wagon trains traveling between Santa Fe and Chihuahua, Mexico. As late as the 19th Century it was the site of a military supply depot. No doubt, one of the reasons General Kearney and the Army of the West occupied it in 1848.

Because of its location on the El Camino Real, Hacienda Vargas has evolved into a romantic getaway. Frequented not only by people from throughout the United States, but also by New Mexicans who live as close as ten minutes away. It is a testimony to the romantic ambiance to be found there. Some pledge their devotion to each other by exchanging marital vows in the Hacienda Vargas chapel. The adobe chapel, unchanged since its construction, has witnessed betrothals on many occasions.

The owners and operators of Hacienda Vargas have made a commitment to maintain the historical aura of the Inn. Their success is reflected by the comments of the guests: " ... the magic is real in the Land of Enchantment ... it is to be found in the comfort of Hacienda Vargas."

Hacienda Vargas is located 25 minutes north of Albuquerque Airport and 35 minutes south of Santa Fe. Take I-25 to the Algodones Exit 248 (approximately 5 miles north of Bernalillo); head west towards El Camino Real (Hwy 313); then south on El Camino Real (historic Route 66). Hacienda Vargas is the first house on the right.
