Las Humanas, Pueblo ruins in Salinas National Monument, New Mexico.
The Las Humanas complex contains limestone structures, including two missionary churches and multiple residential buildings spread across elevated terrain.
Spanish missionaries established San Buenaventura church at Las Humanas in 1659, creating a center for religious activities among the Tompiro-speaking population.
The settlement operated as a major trading hub connecting Native American communities from the Great Plains to the Pacific Coast between 1000 and 1600.
Visitors can access the site through guided tours offered by the National Park Service, which provide detailed information about the architectural features.
The location served as a primary distribution point for salt trade, with resources extracted from nearby lakes and distributed across regional trade networks.
