A visit to Albuquerque will open up a whole new world of fascinating history and culture. Visiting the amazing Aztec Ruins National Monument may be a little too far for a day trip, but you should certainly consider an overnight trip to this remarkable park where you can walk in the footsteps of the ancient Pueblo people. Here you can explore the ruins of a 900-year-old Pueblo Grand House which once boasted over 400 individual masonry rooms. Marvel at how this ancient civilization could have constructed such sophisticated buildings without any modern tools and materials. There is a self-guided trail through the historic site and you can find all the info your need at the Visitor’s Center.
