Transportation to and from Rancho Encantado

Rancho Encantado is a 20 minute drive from downtown Santa Fe. We've arranged bus transportation for guests to and from the venue. If you won't have a car, please book a hotel/AirBnB that's within walking distance to the La Fonda Hotel because that will be the pick-up/drop-off location. The busses will leave La Fonda Hotel for Rancho Encantado at 5:20pm. Please be on time because this will be the only trip to the venue. Return trips to Santa Fe will start at 9:30pm and continue through the end of the reception.

Airport Options: Santa Fe (SAF) or Albuquerque (ABQ)

There are two airport options: Santa Fe Regional Airport (SAF) and Albuquerque International Sunport (ABQ). - SAF is the closer and more convenient option. However, there are fewer flights and prices tend to be higher. - ABQ is a much larger airport, with more daily routes and generally lower fares. The downside is that it's about an hour away from Santa Fe. We have listed some transportation options below!

Train

Rail Runner (ABQ Airport to Santa Fe)

If you're flying to ABQ Airport, the Rail Runner Train is a convenient and inexpensive transportation option to get to Santa Fe.
