- Visit New Mexico's Coronado Historic Site near Albuquerque
The Coronado Historic Site near Albuquerque is one of New Mexico's recognized historic sites. This is one of the many recommended things to do in Albuquerque. Not only is this site very interesting from a historical perspective, it offers incredible views of the Sandia mountains and amazing birdwatching opportunities.
This Coronado Historic Site contains the ruins of the Kuaua Pueblo. It is estimated this area was first settled around AD 1325 and was occupied by approximately 1,200 people when Coronado arrived. Conflict with Coronado and later Spanish explorers led to the abandonment of this site within a century of first contact.
In the 1930's archeologists from the museum of New Mexico came to this area to excavate looking for evidence of Coronado, and discovered the square kiva and up to 1200 rooms in this community.
The kiva contained many layers of mural paintings. These murals represent some of the finest examples of Pre-Columbian art ever found in the United States. A scientist in the area was able to preserve the layers of art found on the walls in the kiva, and fourteen examples of the orginal art are on display in the Visitor's Center. The visitors center contains prehistoric and historic Puebloan and Spanish Colonial artifacts on exhibit with several hands-on components.
Behind the visitors center are incredible views of the Sandia Mountains and the Rio Grande River. We were lucky enough to spot a Bald Eagle in the distance during our visit. The center has birdfeeders in the area and several gazebos to sit back and enjoy the expansive views.

Isleta Pueblo native here! My family has records and name going back 600 years in this area. We are the People of the Sun! Great video…thank you sharing.
Thank you so much for watching!! That’s incredible to have a local history that goes so far back!! 😮🙏
Such incredible...and in so many ways, sad history...it's striking in its beautiful starkness. And it speaks to how in so many ways, we need to do better. Just amazing how it's been preserved.
I agree, so sad they had to leave their home. it is indeed a beautiful area! Thanks for checking it out!
Looks like a place we’d enjoy visiting! Nice that they have tours and a visitor center. Great place to have a picnic lunch and relax. Thanks! 👌👍☀☀
It really is a pretty area, even more beautiful in the spring well that brush by the river turns green!
@@SwiftyTravels Nice! Won’t be long. 👌
Great upload, very nice video and a beautiful historical site. I enjoyed listening to the information you gave us about this place. I would gladly pay the $7 to go inside this place👍🏻thank you for sharing and have a wonderful week🙂👍
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks so much for stopping by!
Another area we need to check out. Thanks from Laurie & Rick of Moore Roads To Travel On
I loved this one! Beautiful sights, and very educational!
Thanks so much!!! History is much more interesting to me now than it was when I was younger
Didn't know much about New Mexico, thanks for making me want to read more!
Thanks for checking it out! I like to give a little background and I learn some things too! 👍
Thanks for the tour to this place steeped with history and showing us the incredible views and amenities! A new subscriber! Greetings from Los Angeles, California!😊
Thanks so much for your support!!!
That was an amazing Pueblo find with the kiva and the huge expanse of rooms found there. Coronado will probably always be the name, but you are right that it would make more sense for the focus of the name to be about the Pueblo Natives. You shared such great information.
Thanks so much for watching! It's such a beautiful site I can see why they chose this place to live!
I definitely learn with you more than in any class at school! :) Amazing places and a lot of history which is always nicer to understand when we travel! Also love that you always put the maps/earth so we know exactly the places, it's great to see how much you're growing in each video!
Thank you! I appreciate it, and I’m really enjoying diving a bit deeper! Have a great week!
Thanks for that wonderful video , great infos , great edit , Like👍
Thanks for checking it out!
What a lovely video ! Wonderful footage
Thanks so much!!
VERY well done!
Thank you so much!!
Cool!
Thanks!!
I love historic sites like this. It is great that they found those ruins. It is an interesting look at the lives of the Kuaua Pueblo Indians. I would love to see the murals in that room. Hopefully we can make it out that way someday. Thanks for sharing this history with us!
you are most welcome! This one is super close to town - it's a nice place to visit!
Thanks! Great video.They should rename it; in spite of several visits (all the way from the Netherlands, Europe) to the area, I never went there, supposing it was about the man Coronado.
I thought the same thing! The views are so pretty! Next time!!👍
Recent scholarship of Coronado documents shows they were looking for a passage to Asia across the Pacific. The people who lived at Kuaua were Tiwa people.
Thank you!!
This vlog is fun, You brought back nostalgia! I joined a community around vloggers sometime back. You can check if you're vlogging around the states of cali, mexico, nevada. Might just help with more ideas, connections.
Thank you!
Sadly when it comes to old native ruins, it seems they are often named something entirely inaccurate (or sometimes even insulting). Some even still using the name given by enemies. A shame. Loved this video though and the history/b-roll bit in the beginning! 😄
It is sad. It just makes more sense to the viewer if they know the background and I’m enjoying the learning process!
Tell us, tell us who were the enemies?
