ALBUQUERQUE NM

We visited Sun City Cultural Center in Acoma NM with its unique historical distinction as the oldest continuously inhabited community in North America. It sits 370 feet above the desert floor. The Pueblo dates back to 1100A.D. There are over 300 structures made of adobe and sandstone. This area is about 15 miles off I-40 east of Albuquerque about 40 miles.

The tour guide was excellent, learning the history so informative. We rate this as a must see.

After the tour we had a very tasty lunch at the Cafe. Chicken stuffed frybread smothered with green sauce, side of rice & beans. Oh Yeah!

Then watched a film and went through the museum.

 

Onto our next destination, The Petroglyph National Monument. As it was getting late in the day we opted for the 3 shorter trails still seeing plenty of Petroglyphs .
