Itinéraire
Le château de Montezuma est situé à environ 27 mètres d'une falaise de calcaire, faisant face au Beaver Creek adjacent, qui se jette dans la rivière pérenne Verde juste au nord de Camp Verde. C'est l'une des habitations de falaise les mieux préservées en Amérique du Nord, en partie grâce à son emplacement idéal dans une alcôve naturelle qui le protège de l'exposition aux éléments. La précarité de l'emplacement de l'habitation et son immense taille - près de 370 m² (5 000 m²) sur cinq étages - laissent penser que les Sinagua étaient des constructeurs audacieux et des ingénieurs qualifiés. L'accès à la structure était très probablement autorisé par une série d'échelles portables, ce qui empêchait les tribus ennemies de pénétrer dans la défense naturelle de la barrière verticale.
Le monument national de Tuzigoot (Yavapai: ‘Haktlakva, Apache occidental: Tú Digiz) conserve une ruine de pueblo de 2 à 3 étages au sommet d’une crête de calcaire et de grès, juste à l’est de Clarkdale, en Arizona, à 36 mètres au-dessus de la rivière Verde plaine inondable. Le site de Tuzigoot est un complexe allongé de salles de maçonnerie en pierre construites le long de la colonne vertébrale d'un affleurement naturel dans la vallée de la Verde. Les salles centrales sont plus hautes que les autres et semblent avoir servi à des fonctions publiques. Le pueblo dispose de 110 chambres. Le Service des parcs nationaux administre actuellement 23 hectares (58 acres), dans les limites autorisées de 338 hectares (834 acres).

Miguel was very knowledgeable about the history of the area and the indigenous people of the southwest.
Thank you for letting us know you enjoyed your day with Miguel.
Great experience and lots of knowledge about the area from our guide Bob. Comfortable ride and went at our pace. Recommended places for our later touring as well! Highly recommend
Thank you for such a nice review. We always like to know how our guests feel about their tour!
My friend and I went on a private tour of Montezuma's Castle and the Tuzigoot National Monument. We went through TripAdvisor, which booked our tour with First Class Charters and Guide Miguel Montoya. We booked a private tour because we are seniors, and I have an issue walking. These sites are very easy walking as both have maintained trails or paved walkways. It was a rainy day, but that provided a beautiful sky in contrast to all the red rocks, and we managed to dodge most of the raindrops! Miguel was an exceptional guide. Great knowledge of the history of all the areas we visited. He also provided us with a wonderful ride around Sedona when we opted not to go to the Well because of the rain. He also plays the flute and he can sing, having recorded many songs he has written. It was a lovely experience to have him play several songs of his while we were riding around. I would highly recommend Miguel.
Miguel will be thrilled you had such a good time. It is great when out guests write wonderful reviews.
Marc was so good at explaining the history and structure of the ruins and gave us a luxury experience like no other. Thoroughly enjoyable, very educational and very fun!
Thank you for the great review. Perhaps we will see you again.
Miguel was our guide and he was really good. We enjoyed the heritage sites and he was very cognizant of the heat and trying to mitigate it. He was sensitive to my wife’s bad knee and was willing to change the venue to another but that one was closed so he went back to Montezuma's well which he thought would be more rigorous but it turned out ok. He is very knowledgeable about the local history and the various sites. He has many years of experience. He is always reading and studying deeper into the history of these sites. At the sites he played his two types of flutes. We enjoyed the adventure very much.
Great review! Thank you so much. We are thrilled you has such a good time.
Our tour guide Bob was amazing and had so much information! We would even ask him questions, and he had the answer to all of them. He was funny and a joy to be around. To see the montezuma castles & tuzigoot was a experience I’ll never forget!
We are happy you had such a good time. We will pass your review on to Bob as well. Thank you.
We had an excellent tour of Montezuma's Castle and Tuzigoot. Our guide, Bob was so informative and also so entertaining!
Thank you for the review. We are glad you enjoyed the day!
Mark was very knowledgeable and very professional. He loves his life and where he lives and it shows.
Great review. Thank you so much.
This was an awesome tour. Our guide, Bob, made the tour exceptional. His knowledge and presentations made the tour, the most memorable tour we have ever taken. It covered two site, the Tuzigoot National Monument and Montezuma's Castle. The tour of Tuzigoot allowed for a close of look at the architecture of small settlements. Giving us the opportunity to have an understanding of how the Sinaqua would build for survival, daily living and protection. This was followed by visiting the second site Montezuma's Castle. The one thing that was out of everyone's control was not being able to see inside the Castle. Unfortunately, only archaeologist have been able to physically be in the structure since 1951. It is still an amazing site to see.
We are thrilled you had such a good experience. It is very important to us that you enjoy the tour.
Breath taking. Not sure how they did that without technology!! Walking thru was really beautiful! Take a mask if you want a souvenir!
Thank you for the 5 star review. We are happy you enjoyed your tour. We hope to see you again!!
