Great tour learning about the cliff dwellings and lifestyle of the native people. Our guide was knowledgeable and patient with our large group. The option to hike down the mountain using the ancient stairs was so fun! Also great that there was an option to take the van down for anyone who didn’t feel comfortable or able to climb down. Highly recommend!
We had an amazing time! The Cliffs are tour guided only, and ran us about $25 per person. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable, funny, and entertaining.

This tour was jam packed with great information and Ernesto was an amazing guide. He helped navigate a group of 14 ages from 9-70+ through a cliffside “staircase” and a 45’ ladder. It was an excellent adventure and I highly recommend before going to Bandelier as it gives more historical and cultural context to these dwellings!
A very excellent tour of this historical site. Ernest was very informative and engaging, he really made the tour. I love that you are allowed to handle the small artifacts found around the site. Completely worth the cost of admission and drive.
We visited the park, which had a visitors center with displays and exhibits about the history of the area and the cliff dwellers. You can purchase a guided tour, which includes a van escort to the dwellings with a very knowledgeable tour guide. We walked through old areas of ruins on top of the cliff and then ascended down the cliff to view small caves where others also lived.
