Taos Pueblo

This is an amazing place. For 1000 years people have been living in the large multi story adobe building that is a UNESCO world heritage site. Be sure and take a tour (every 20 minutes starting at 9am). Be aware that while the Pueblo is open daily it does close for various tribal activities – check the website. The tour only takes about 30 minutes but we highly recommend a visit here.

The pueblo is home to nearly 4,500 people who value their privacy and insist visitors do the same. Signs mark houses around the plaza that sell arts and crafts. Respect the off-limits signs and don’t climb the ladders to the rooftops.

Any sketching, painting or commercial photography requires advance written approval.

Of note, it’s closed for about 10 weeks in early spring, so check ahead on the website or call to make sure it will be open (1-575-758-1028).

Hours:

  • Monday – Saturday; 8:00AM – 4:30PM
  • Sunday; 8:30AM – 4:30PM
