    Arrival in Monument Valley
    Day 1

    Today you'll arrival in Monument Valley to discover this amazing land and experience a night out in a traditional hogan. A Navajo hogan is a typical local home, here the inhabitants usually tell stories about how the First Man and the First Woman built the original tent. A hogan represents both the universe and the harmony that can be found in nature. This dwelling is built with natural materials, as desert juniper trees and ponderosa, juniper barks (for insulation), and dirt (red desert earth) plastered over the dome-shape structure. At sunset you'll go on with a 2.5 hours jeep safari among the red large sandstone formations. Tonight you'll enjoy a Navajo Taco dinner and a local show, in which Navajo sing and dance around a camp fire. Then, local people will share their stories with you, and tell you about their history, traditions and culture.
