Sitting atop a nearly 400 foot tall mesa in the middle of the desert, you’ll find the small town of Acoma, famous for being the oldest continually inhabited settlement in the whole of North America. This mind-blowing feat is matched by the views from the pueblo itself, with a panoramic vista across the rocky expanse of land below. The Acoma people have been living here for nearly 800 years and you’ll have the opportunity to learn more about them and their home on a 90-minute guided walking tour of the town. To discover the fascinating art and culture of the people here, be sure to visit the Haak’u Museum, whilst the Sky City Cultural Centre offers exhibits and activities concerning Acoma Pueblo itself.

The amazing Acoma Pueblo, 50 miles west of Albuquerque, encapsulates a thousand years of Native American history. Focused around the ancient village known as “Sky City”, atop a magnificent mesa, it has adapted to repeated waves of invaders while retaining its own strong identity.
