Overview
Explore the Canyon de Chelly National Monument, located in the heart of the Navajo Nation, during a 3-hour private excursion.

Accompanied by a Navajo guide with deep ties to this land, you will discover the symbolic interpretations of the rock carvings, the dates of occupation, and significant historical and prehistoric events. The narrative is also based on oral histories passed down by the canyon's inhabitants. The service includes pick-up. The meeting point is at the picnic parking lot, a two-minute walk opposite the Thunderbird Lodge, on the north side.
