Rancho
de San Juan is located at the converse of the Ojo
Cliente River and the Chama River Valleys as they
flow into the magnificent Rio Grande River at the
San Juan Pueblo. Rich in the history of the Hispanic
culture, the valley was first enjoyed by the pueblo
Indian tribes as a place for hunting and fishing
while in route to the natural healing mineral springs
of Ojo Caliente (Spanish for Hot Eye). The first
Spanish village in the valley was named Ranchos
de San Juan and was located directly across the
river from where the inn now is located.
Today’s visitors to Rancho de San
Juan can enjoy numerous recreational, historical
and cultural activities all within a short distance.
