Puye Cliffs on Santa Clara Pueblo Land

We took a tour of the Puye Cliffs where Santa Clara Puebloans lived for hundreds of years. We explored the top of the Mesa where the ruins of their 3-story dwellings survive today. They lived on top of the Mesa in the summer and in the cave dwellings during the winter. They created a reservoir to store water and even used a simple but effective water filtration system for drinking water. Simply incredible.
