USA - New Mexico. The valley around the Chaco Canyon, at the Chaco Culture National Historical Park.
Description
The D-shaped Pueblo Bonito, the most classical example of Chacoan big houses or pueblos. Pueblo Bonito is indeed such a huge structure that when the first colonists saw it—abandoned and partially covered by earth—they thought they were seeing several houses, rather than several rooms of the same house. That explains how this and the other big Chacoan houses received the name "pueblos," which is the Spanish word for "villages." With more than 600 rooms, Pueblo Bonito is the largest one of those "pueblos" in the Chaco park area.
