A visit to Puye is enchanting and enlightening. The mesa top dwellings have been excavated and partially rebuilt, offering visitors a glimpse of the past. The views of the surrounding mountains are breathtaking and it is easy to let your imagination go: picture daily life atop the mesa, most likely challenging in many ways but peaceful and spiritual. In addition to the mesa top tour, take an insightful walk along the cliff dwellings with Native American guides, all from Santa Clara Pueblo.
Puye Cliffs re-opened to the general public on June 18th, 2022. Join us on a tour to this special destination.
Experience the rich culture of the Native American people with a visit to the Tewa speaking Pueblos of Northern New Mexico. Learn how the Ancient Puebloans once thrived, what effect the arrival of the Spaniards had on their way of life, and how they have managed to retain many of their traditions. Take a docent tour of the remarkable “Nah Poeh Meng” exhibit at the Poeh Cultural Center, and then ride out to the high desert to view Pojoaque Pueblo’s magnificent bison herd.
Pojoaque Pueblo, as with all the other Pueblos in New Mexico, has been closed to the public since March 2020. No announcements have been made to date as to when they will reopen.
Ride the High Road to Taos and experience the history and culture of the Native Americans, the Spanish settlers, and the Anglos who came in later years. Visit the famed Santuario de Chimayó, often called the “Lourdes of America” and renowned for its “healing dirt”. Stroll through historic Taos Pueblo, nestled against the grandeur of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, and meet talented artists, returning to Santa Fe by way of the scenic River or Low Road.
