Recognized. Protected. Revered.

Mesa Verde National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, honored for its remarkable concentration of Ancestral Pueblo cliff dwellings and cultural landmarks. With more than 600 cliff dwellings and over 4,000 archaeological sites, Mesa Verde offers an unparalleled glimpse into the lives of the ancient Pueblo people. These historic sites preserve centuries of Native American heritage and remain a powerful symbol of the cultural richness and amazing ingenuity of the Pueblo people in the American Southwest.
