Having been closed for 9 years, Puye Cliff Dwellings just re-opened to the public. Over 500 years ago, ancestors of today's Pueblo people lived on mesa tops and cliffs of the Pajarito Plateau. Visitors may now climb ladders and walk into hand-hewn caves. Returning to the Rio Grande Valley, visit living Indian Pueblos, as well as centuries old Spanish villages. This is the heart of the early European settlement of New Mexico.
