点评:Our visit to the Acoma Pueblo Sky City Cultural Center was a last minute back up plan as the Kashe-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument was closed due to recent flash flood damage. We checked online the night before we anticipated to visit Acoma Pueblo Sky City Cultural Center and they were scheduled to be open the following day with guided tours. Upon arrival there at 9a.m., the entrance door was open but there was a sign posted at the front desk stating that "Tours to the Mesa Top were cancelled for the day." The only other option was to purchase the Virtual permit for $19 per person which allowed viewing of a film on the Acoma Pueblo Sky City and question/answer talk following the film viewing along with a visit to the museum and the parking space. The museum actually did a great job to provide photos of the pueblo and the trail that leads up to the pueblo.
We continued our visit to the back of the culture center where there were some local vendors selling their handicraft work.
It was a manageable visit and we made the best of the situation as there were no other options after driving all the way from Albuquerque.
Before you depart the area, after you leave the parking lot, make sure you take a look back at the view of the mesa top where the Acoma pueblos are located.
Make sure you do check on their opening hours the night before planning to visit and also, be prepared if they need to cancel the guided tours last minute. That is their policy as it is an active living community and if any emergency arises, the pueblo is closed to the general public. I am sure it is well worth to take a guided tour of the Acoma Pueblo mesa top.
翻译:由于卡什-卡图维帐篷岩国家纪念碑近期遭受山洪暴发,被迫关闭,我们临时决定前往阿科马普韦布洛天空之城文化中心。我们前一天晚上上网查询,发现文化中心第二天会开放并提供导览服务。早上9点到达时,入口大门敞开,但前台贴着一张告示:“当天前往梅萨山顶的导览活动已取消。” 唯一的选择是购买每人19美元的虚拟通行证,凭此通行证可以观看一部关于阿科马普韦布洛天空之城的影片,并在影片结束后参加问答环节,还可以参观博物馆和使用停车场。博物馆里展示了普韦布洛遗址和通往遗址的小径的照片,做得非常棒。
之后,我们继续参观文化中心的后方,那里有一些当地商贩在售卖他们的手工艺品。
这次参观行程安排得当,我们尽力而为,毕竟从阿尔伯克基一路开车过来也别无选择。
离开停车场前,别忘了回头看看阿科马普韦布洛遗址所在的台地顶部的景色。
计划参观前一晚务必查询他们的开放时间,并做好他们可能临时取消导览的准备。这是他们的惯例,因为这是一个活跃的社区,如果发生任何紧急情况,普韦布洛遗址将不对公众开放。我相信参加阿科马普韦布洛台地顶部的导览游绝对值得。
