Mesa Verde National Park is located in the county of Montezuma, in the southwest of Colorado.
Declared World Heritage by UNESCO, this extensive park of 211 square kms has ruins of buildings constructed by the Anasazi. The Anasazi was an Indian people with a fascinating culture of great wisdom and skill with ceramics and fabrics. In the Mesa Verde National Park, the Anasazi people left villages and constructions built in caves and under overhanging rocks, making up a landscape that has lasted through the centuries. Some of the most outstanding ruins are those of the Cliff Palace, the largest ruins of their kind in the country. These are impressive both for their size and for the architecture of the buildings. The ruins in the Mesa Verde park are witness to many years of occupation by the Anasazi people.
The natural landscape of the park is one of hills and valleys of great beauty; there are places to camp and enjoy being surrounded by nature. The park also has restaurants and accommodation so that your stay in Mesa Verde is a comfortable one.
