Taos Pueblo, New Mexico

Address:Taos, New Mexico
Tel: (505) 758-1028

This ancient pueblo outside of Taos has been continuously inhabited for over 1,000 years by the Tiwa Pueblo tribe. The tiny Rio Pueblo river runs alongside the pueblo which today is home to about 2,000 residents. Surrounded by the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, the Pueblo's most common feature is the multi-storied living quarters, a sort of three story rust-colored adobe pyramid that has been named a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This striking and one-of-a-kind historic and architectural site also gives you a great understanding of where the roots of today's popular "Santa Fe" architecture lie.
