Chaco Culture National Historical Park

Journey into the heart of an ancient civilization at Chaco Culture National Historical Park, where massive stone structures stand as a testament to the ingenuity of the ancestral Puebloan people. Located in the remote high desert of northwestern New Mexico, Chaco was a major cultural and trade center over a thousand years ago. Its grand kivas, multi-story Great Houses, and precisely aligned buildings reveal a deep connection to astronomy and the landscape. Whether you're exploring the ruins, hiking through the rugged terrain, or stargazing under some of the darkest skies in the country, Chaco offers a profound and unforgettable experience.
