Taos Pueblo by JJ10

I loved the Taos Pueblo! We went on a day trip from Santa Fe in July 2024. It was a very hot day but we still enjoyed walking around. It was bigger than I thought - I had seen pictures of the main building but didn't realize it was a whole village. Beautiful architecture. It's a picturesque spot with lovely mountains in the background. You can't go everywhere, but can still see a lot. Our tour guide was a young woman from the Taos Pueblo who was in college but came back in the summers, and had some interesting perspectives on both historic and modern life in the pueblo. There weren't too many people there, but we also enjoyed talking with a few of the shopkeepers. A really unique experience! We saw interesting abandoned pueblo ruins in New Mexico at Bandolier National Monument (which I highly recommend) and also Pecos National Historic Site, but at Taos it's amazing because the pueblo has not been abandoned, it's been kept up for 1000 years using the same techniques. A must see if you're interesting in Native American history and life.
