This is the land of the Navajo Indians, and today you will taste the national cuisine of the Navajo. You are surrounded by the classic landscape of the Wild West: bare sandy hills, impregnable pointed rocks, towering over the endless space of wind-driven red sand – this image is familiar to everyone. Only by visiting Monument Valley will you realize how much your perception of the American West was shaped by this place. Of course, such landscapes can be seen everywhere, but only here they are absolutely perfect. Tonight you will be immersed in the atmosphere of Indian spirituality.
