Walk into El Rancho de las Golondrinas and you'll open a door and step back 300 years to experience authentic Southwest history. See first-hand how people lived, the buildings they constructed and their purpose, how they made their clothes, cooked their food and worshipped. You'll get a unique taste of everyday life in a community in the 1700s, learn about the inhabitants' hardships, their hopes and fears while exploring this exceptionally, well-maintained and preserved historic ranch. I spent 4 hours walking the grounds and talking with the knowledgeable and friendly staff. I'm a historian and learned more about New Mexico's fascinating history when visiting El Rancho de las Golondrinas.

Jack Caffrey took us on a tour of this Western Town they used for movies (still do actually). Lonesome Dove and Return to Lonesome Dove were 2 of the movies. Jack had bit parts in them. He is a hoot. You call him directly to see when he can take you on a tour. His number is 505-780-1076. He spent a lot of time with us telling us all about actors, etc. It's not cheap, but well worth it!!
