Colorado’s Mesa Verde National Park is said to be one of the country’s “best-preserved native Ancestral Puebloan sites.” It was first settled approximately 7500 BC. Here you will discover over 5,000 separate sites and 600 cliff dwellings.
Mesa Verde is arguably most well-known for Cliff Palace. It is one of North America’s largest cliff dwellings. Be sure to see Long House and Balcony House too.
Travel to the edge of Hawaii’s Big Island. Here on these remote beaches, you will discover more than the waves lapping the shore. Here you will find a mix of thatched huts and the random ruins of an ancient fishing village amidst a 262-acre coastal historical park. This partially restored village is over 600 years old.
