Albuquerque and New Mexico are also the heart of diverse Native American cultural experiences. New Mexico is home to 19 recognized pueblos, including Acoma, Isleta, Jemez, Laguna, Pojoaque, San Ildefonso, Taos, and Santo Domingo. Some open their homes and public rituals to visitors during feast days; others encourage visiting their museums and exploring their landscapes. We encourage you to experience Native American culture in all of its variety and depth, and chart your own Albuquerque tour bridging the past to the future. From the ancestral sites of Chaco Canyon, Petroglyph National Monument, Bandelier National Monument, and Mesa Verde, to the modern day Pueblos and sovereign lands of the Jicarilla-Apache and Diné peoples, your journey will be breathtaking.

This National Monument along Albuquerque's west mesa features symbols and designs etched into the volcanic rock by Native Americans and early Spanish settlers 700 years ago.

Your journey may include a trip, north, to Taos Pueblo, where Native Americans have continuously dwelled for 1,000 years. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Taos Pueblo is vibrant. Join in on one of their guided tours, or explore on your own. Learn more about Taos Pueblo.
