🎧 Listen to Introduction

Mesa Verde, more than 2,600 meters above sea level in southwestern Colorado, is home to a large number of ancestral Pueblo Indian dwellings built between the 6th and 12th centuries. Some 4,400 sites have been documented, including villages built atop Mesa Hill. There are also magnificent cliff dwellings built of stone with more than 100 rooms.
