Montezuma Well is a detached annex of the Montezuma Castle National Monument located near Camp Verde, Arizona. The Montezuma Well unit protects the unique geological feature that is the well itself along with several cliff dwellings within the crater of the sinkhole, a multi-room pueblo located above the rim and a nearby pithouse. Montezuma Well is regarded as very sacred among the Yavapai for they believe that it was here that they emerged into this world.
