Acoma Pueblos - Sky city

The other day me and my new host family went to the Acoma Pueblos.
Those are build high up on a mountain which had the purpose on secure the native indians when the spanish came and tried to wipe out their traditions.

Its really pretty up there . You will see laders on the houses. Another technique to secure themselves was to build the door on the top of the house so only people with the lader could reach it.

Till toay a native tribe is living up there. A bit more modern then back then but still following their traditions. Typicall art pieces like cermic bowls etc. were out for sale .For sure i bought some.
