What a fantastic place Bandelier is! This canyon has been used for ages by native americans. Around 800 years ago the Anasazi people (ancestors of the Pueblo people) built a village here.
In Bandelier there is a big village built in a circle called Tyuonyi. Archaeology shows that the houses can have been three levels and maybe have 400 rooms. Around the village there are a lot of caves that have been used for living as well.
It is a fantastic feeling to walk around in the surroundings and almost feel the presence of this ancient culture.
Mats in a 4 room cave. Nice and cosy - and what a wonderful view!
No, this is NOT Mr Walkers quarters.
