Travelers have been less acquainted with the tourism opportunities in the Hopi villages on First, Second, and Third Mesas. The hotel, through their website, www.ExperienceHopi.com, will connect visitors with authorized Hopi tour guides who provide private guided tours to the villages including Oraibi, Sipaulovi, and Walpi as well as Dawa Park – a site with over 10,000 rock art petroglyphs. The Hopi Villages are among the longest continuously inhabited places in North America, dating back to 950 A.D.
The Upper Village of Moenkopi has an architecturally striking TUUVI Travel Center across the street from the hotel at the junction of US Highway 160 and State Route 264. The TUUVI Travel Center is named after the first leader of the Village of Moenkopi. The Travel Center offers a gas station, a complete convenience store, tax-free cigarettes, food for travelers on-the-go, and four stores that feature authentic Native American handmade merchandise.
When travelers visit the TUUVI stores in the Village of Moenkopi, they will not only find the high quality Native American arts, crafts, and jewelry, but will find themselves immersed in the traditional culture of the Hopi tribe. The store owners and employees enjoy sharing information about the artists, the history, and the culture of the Hopi. Each store is owned and operated by Native Americans and has its own unique story. The owners are all passionate and experienced with the hand-made Native American arts that they sell. Mostof the featured crafts have been purchased from local artists or have even been created by the owner and their families.
