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 & 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 1846. The sights, sounds, and scents of New Mexico are to be found at Hacienda Vargas. 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 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. The owners and operators of Hacienda Vargas have made a commitment to maintain the historical aura and ambiance 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."
