Taos Pueblo
A UNESCO World Heritage Site: a multi-story adobe village that Indigenous people have lived in for over a thousand years, backed by the Taos Mountains.
Taos Pueblo, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has two multi-story adobe complexes, North House and South House, built along Red Willow Creek around 1,000 years ago. Some residents still live without electricity or running water. Visitors can join tours led by tribal members, visit San Geronimo Church and the old church cemetery, and buy bread and handicrafts from residents. The pueblo is about 110 km from Santa Fe, roughly 2.5 hours by the High Road. Admission is about $25. Photography is subject to rules, and the village may close during tribal festivals.
