Product Info

Meet at our Durango Office, or the Mancos Chamber of Commerce, to shuttle over to Mesa Verde with your guide! The drive from Durango is incredibly scenic and takes about 45 minutes while driving past the La Plata Mountains.

Once there, you'll visit the top sites along the mesa before your expedition into Cliff Palace. This portion of the tour lasts about 45 minutes, and includes climbing a narrow staircase and series of ladders to reach the dwellings. The rangers will provide some interpretation, while giving you time to wander beneath the largest cliff dwelling in North America.

Afterwards we’ll enjoy a delicious lunch at one of the sites or overlooks, before continuing to more ancient villages and sacred kivas to explore. Expect a lot of information along the way! Our guides offer far more insight and knowledge about the sites than visitors going on their own, as posted information and placards are limited throughout the Park.

After a stop at a spectacular lookout of the Four Corners Region, we'll shuttle back to Durango, or Mancos where we started.
