Offering views of the San Juan Mountains, Cortez is slowly becoming a famous destination for tourists seeking a peaceful retreat in Colorado. Guests who want an educational trip can drop by Cortez Cultural Center. Cortez is also an ideal home base for visiting Mesa Verde National Park, one of the state’s four national parks. This park is home to ancient cliff dwellings, petroglyphs, and more than 5,000 known archaeological sites. If you are into these archeological finds, you might as well visit Canyons of the Ancients National Monument, which is also located near Cortez.
