Leonora Curtin Wetland Preserve — Attraction in New Mexico

I'm very disappointed with my visit to the wetlands. I used to go often in previous years, but now that Las Golondrinas owns it, they have closed the usual entrance on the frontage road and visitors must enter through the gift shop of the museum. Then they must walk 40 minutes to even get to the wetlands which does not include walking around the wetlands themselves. This is completely inaccessible to disabled people and older people, when the frontage road entrance was accessible with only a minute's walk onto the trails from the parking lot. The gift shop workers' reason for the change was that visitors were parking in the road. It seems this could be easily fixed. I didn't know that Las Golondrinas was ableist and I hope they fix this in the future. The wetlands are too beautiful for all...

We enjoyed our time here and will be back! Nice trails and bridges that we could push our stroller on, only $3 per person, and plenty of plants and wildlife to see. The frogs, tadpoles and dragonflies were a hit! We got there at 1:45 and saw plenty by closing time but would have liked to wonder more. We’ll get there...

This place will inspire you. All four seasons you will find beautiful scenery. The sound of frogs, birds, fish, and cricket. The smell of nature, the hug of a cool breeze, the sound of water running in the acequias. I find this place to be so unique and inspiring.

Visit El Rancho De Las Golondrinas, you will...
