So Near, Yet So Far is a perfect description of the Chocolate Turtle, a New Mexico Bed and Breakfast located in the picturesque Village of Corrales a historic farming community in the Rio Grande river valley of New Mexico. Relaxed and low-key, Corrales is a world apart - you'd never know that we are surrounded by two of New Mexico's largest cities: Albuquerque and Rio Rancho, and just a short drive to Santa Fe. This inviting B&B is centrally located with easy access to the famous Sandia Peak Tramway, the Balloon Park, galleries, and convenient for day trips to explore cultural and historical sites as well as outdoor activities including hiking, golfing, biking, and bird watching. Moderate temperatures, 360 days of sunshine and the high desert climate distinguish Albuquerque, making outdoor recreation enjoyable year round.
