San Luis, Colorado - Oldest Town in Colorado
San Luis is located on Colorado Highway 159 in the San Luis Valley, 35 miles southeast of Alamosa. A picturesque little town, it lies at the mouth of the valley of the Ventero, at the foot of Culebra Peak. While it is the oldest surviving settlement in Colorado, it was not the first.

The setting of San Luis is beautiful: surrounded by lush green fields at the foot of the mountains on the east. Just to the south and east of San Pedro Mesa is Sanchez Reservoir and Sanchez State Wildlife Area. Just to the west are the San Luis Hills with the San Juan Mountains acting as a backdrop. To the north is the Blanca Massif.
