On the Exotic Side Down a side street or along the Rio Grande Gorge, you will encounter the unusual and the unusually beautiful in Taos. Visit our national treasures that include the Río Grande del Norte National Monument, Taos Pueblo— the oldest continually inhabited Pueblo in the U.S.—and San Francisco de Asis Mission Church (one of Yahoo’s top places to see before you die). Taos offers visitors an opportunity to experience living historic “museums” that uphold authentic Indian and Hispanic cultures. Add to that a community that is deeply rooted in making all kinds of art, and you have an atmosphere that is unique as well as exotic. There’s always something free and easy to do, so check TAOS.org for what’s happening currently.
An Intensely Active Place The Town of Taos is a beehive of activity and one-of-a-kind events. Relaxed, yet full of local shops, art and conversations, Taos offers a range of eclectic and international food and shopping in and around the historic plaza.
