Mesa Verde offers a unique chance to walk in the actual footsteps of the vanished Anasazi civilization. Little has changed since 600 AD, when Ancestral Puebloans thrived in this mysterious collection of cliff dwellings. Explore everything from simple, one-room berths to villages of more than 200 adobe buildings. The ceremonial houses, or "kivas," reveal thousands of well-preserved artifacts. Along with ancient petroglyphs, the kivas help tell the story of the Anasazi people. Mesa Verde has been designated a World Cultural Heritage Site by the United Nations. It was also rated the #1 "Historical Hot Spot" by Historic Traveler magazine.
