Taos Pueblo is a Native American village located in northern New Mexico. It is one of the oldest continuously inhabited communities in the United States. The village is home to the Taos Indians, a tribe of Native American Pueblo people.
The village is set amongst a stunning mountain backdrop and is made up of several multi-story adobe buildings. The structures were built using a unique combination of adobe, stone and timber, and are believed to have been standing since the 14th century. The village is a National Historic Landmark and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and it is the only living Native American community designated as both of these.
The Taos Pueblo is home to several traditional ceremonies and festivals. Visitors can witness the San Geronimo Day celebration in September, which features traditional dances and music, as well as the Taos Pueblo Powwow in August. The village also offers guided tours year-round. Visitors can explore the village and learn about the history and culture of the Taos Indians.
The village has a rich history and culture, and is a popular destination for both tourists and locals alike. The Taos Pueblo is an important cultural and historical site, and it is a reminder of the unique and vibrant history of the Taos Indians.
I'm really excited about my upcoming tour of Taos Pueblo. Can you say you've ever visited a 14th century community? Starting today I'll be able to. Come along with me so you can too.
