Getting to New Mexico

Fly into Albuquerque International Airport. From there you can take a shuttle to the rental car center. Let the healing begin.

Where to Stay

We have a dream of one day building guest 'casitas' but right now, our place is not practical for overnight guests. In the meantime, here is a list of nearby accommodations.

Accomodations

1- Rancho Manzana:  Our friend Jodi's place. She has quiet, nice rooms. Tell her Victor and Steven sent you.

2- Hacienda Rancho de Chimayo: Another inn (across from the Rancho de Chimayo Restaurant where we had our ceremony).

3- Casa Escondida:  We don't know them personally, but this Chimayo B&B seems nice as another option.

4- Inn at the Delta:  A very nice inn in nearby Española.

5- The Homewood Suites: where a lot of our guests stayed for our ceremony. It's about a 15 minute drive from Chimayo.

6- Buffalo Thunder Resort: The MASSIVE Hotel/Casino (across the parking lot from #5 above). This is the anti-B&B, but they have EVERYTHING- spa, pool, shops, cafeteria, etc. And available rooms, if nobody else does.

7– Santa Claran Hotel and Casino: In nearby Espanola. Works in a pinch… relatively cheap and new/clean.
