About Taos
As the only living Native American community that can boast being a World Heritage Site and a National Historic Landmark, Taos is a fascinating location to learn about the history who have been living in the area for thousands of years. When exploring Taos, you will take a step back in time, starting with Taos Pueblo. Here you will find homes built between 1000-1450 A.D. and are still used today! You must also visit the 300-year-old Taos Plaza and its surrounding Taos Historic District. Taos features a variety of museums where you can learn about art and history. Don’t forget that Taos is also a popular winter destination! Taos Ski Valley offers numerous ski trails and lessons if you are looking to enjoy this sport!
