Guided tour
Led by tribal members.
Taos Pueblo
A multi-story adobe village, continuously lived in for about 1,000 years by the Taos people, and a World Heritage Site.
Mud-brick homes stack up to five stories beneath Taos Mountain, among the oldest continuously inhabited communities in the United States. Most residents now live nearby, but some families keep the old traditions, without electricity or running water.
Native-guided tours explain life here.
