Socorro Travel Information

interesting attractions that are sure to please most outdoor oriented
visitors. World class bouldering and climbing, hiking amongst unique
desert geology, and checking out the bizarre and impressive
technological sites of this part of New Mexico can all be accessed
easily within a short drive of Socorro's town center. Visitors will
find a good selection of low to moderately priced accommodation
options in Socorro as well as a variety of dining options, including
excellent Mexican choices, to satisfy hungry and adventure tired
travelers. To learn more about Socorro, select a topic of interest
