Monumento nacional de las Ruinas Aztecas (Aztec Ruins National Monument)
El monumento nacional de las Ruinas Aztecas (en inglés, Aztec Ruins National Monument) es un monumento nacional de los Estados Unidos localizado en el noroeste del estado de Nuevo México y protege una zona de unas estructuras ancestrales de los Indios pueblo. Se encuentra cerca de la ciudad de Aztec y al noreste de Farmington, cerca del río Animas. Las ruinas Salmón y el parque Heritage, con más estructuras ancestrales, se encuentran a poca distancia al sur, justo al oeste de Bloomfueld y cerca del río San Juan.
Los edificios datan de los siglos XI al XIII, y la atribución de fantasía que se le da de los aztecas se remonta a los primeros pobladores de Estados Unidos a mediados del siglo XIX.
El lugar fue declarado «monumento nacional de las Ruinas Aztecas» el 24 de enero de 1923 por proclamación presidencial de Warren G. Harding, y con un cambio de límites fue rebautizado como «ruinas» el 2 de julio de 1928. Como propiedad histórica del Servicio de Parques Nacionales, el monumento nacional fue listado administrativamente en el Registro Nacional de Lugares Históricos el 15 de octubre de 1966. Las Ruinas Aztecas fue añadido a la lista de Patrimonio de la Humanidad de la Unesco, como parte del Parque Nacional Histórico de la Cultura Chaco el 8 de diciembre de 1987.

Very interesting place to visit, lots of places to explore and see ruins. There is still dig sights going on currently, Science! Takes about 1 to 2 hrs if rushing through or 3 to 5 if you take you time and enjoy it all. Watch out for the bats in the some of the ruins

Respectful preservation of American castle's built by the culturally advanced people. We really shouldn't have to drive all the way out here to learn so much. Talk to the rangers and people to learn more about this vibrant and alive location.

Honestly, I had no clue what to expect. But we were driving this way after Mesa Verde, and decided to stop off. It was so interesting to walk around and through the ruins and learn about the people who constructed them and lived there. We spent about 30 mins in total here. I suggest listening to the accompanying National Parks podcast as you walk around. Not the best quality, but it helps you understand what you're looking at. Scan the QR code before going into the visitors center. Covid restrictions still apply. Only 4 allowed into the bookshop at a time. Rangers and bookshop only available/open Thursday-Sun, 9am-12pm and 1:30pm-5pm. Park gates close at 5pm. Restrooms were clean and had running water.

The walk through was amazing. They have a QR code audio tour that you can play while you check out the ruins. Some local artists was selling some of his beautiful art. Very glad we randomly stopped here!

Amazing ruins. Arguably a better experience than Chaco Canyon and much easier to get to.
