Presentazione generale

Canyon de Chelly

Sandstone canyons inhabited and cultivated for centuries in the heart of the Navajo nation.

The discovery of Chelly Canyon is based around Spider Rock, White House Ruins and Mummy Cave. The stay thus alternates between desert areas, heritage and natural areas, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.

Vedi tutto

For a stay of 2 to 5 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.
