Taos Pueblo

Not far from the well laid-out din of Taos lies this gem, a canvas of breathing history. Backdropped by the mighty Taos Mountains, this settlement is an obscure landmark lanced by a meandering stream. Estimated to be around 1000 years old, Taos Pueblo was an important trading location for the native people and the surrounding area. In the 20th Century, the area centered around the settlement was known for its art colony which attracted visitors like Ansel Adams and Georgia O'Keefe. Today, it is touted to be one of the oldest continuously inhabited settlements. Standing strong through many ravages of time, while also sustaining itself with dignity, it is no surprise that this site is a National Historic Landmark and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
