Having A Hard Time Finding Us?

Los Luceros is a newly designated Historic Site and we are working towards adding larger highway signs to assist with location of the entrance. Currently, there are several small brown highway signs and a wooden historical marker that indicates where to turn off NM-68. We suggest driving slowly as you near Los Luceros to avoid missing the turn.
