Description
Sunset at Pueblo Bonito in New Mexico's Chaco culture national historical park.
This sacred area was occupied by Native Americans from the 800s for over 300 years.
Pueblo Bonito is one of the several great houses that were built in this area, including Una Vida and Pueblo Alto. These houses were built to align with solar and lunar directions, taking into consideration the path of the sun throughout the course of the year.
While this is a sacred place, it's also one prone to harsh weather - summers often have temperatures in the 100s, while winters are cold with sub-zero temperatures. Why this place was chosen as a site for building homes perhaps remains a mystery. It's an amazing experience to visit this site and take in all its culture and history.
