Acoma "Sky City" Pueblo Tour
Saturday, April 24, 9:00am–3:00pm
Saturday promises to be an unforgettable day filled with breathtaking views, interesting culture and a tasty lunch. Acoma Pueblo, known as "Sky City," is located in the spectacular West–Central Plateau of New Mexico. Acoma Pueblo, situated 350 feet above an outstretched valley atop a massive sandstone mesa at 7,000 feet above sea level, is the oldest continuously inhabited settlement in the United States. Archeologists put the initial occupation of the Pueblo around 1150 AD. The first Europeans visited Acoma in 1540, led by Francisco Vasquez de Coronado.
A Pueblo member will take you on a ¾–mile leisurely guided tour of the village, explaining the culture and history of the tribe. Points of interest include San Estevan del Rey Mission, built in 1629, the largest and most remarkable of all the Spanish Colonial mission churches in New Mexico. All building materials for the church and other structures in the village were carried or hauled great distances by hand up the steep slope of the mesa. The 360–degree views from Acoma are breathtaking and offer many photo opportunities. A camera permit is included with the tour. Return to Albuquerque for lunch at Seasons Rotisserie & Grill in historic Old Town.
Cost is $90 per person.
