Taos Pueblo
Located in a valley on tributary of the Rio Grande in the most northern of the New Mexico Pueblos, the Taos Pueblo (village) makes a great destination for bed and breakfast lovers who want to find peace in a southwestern atmosphere. Immersed with culture and heritage, Taos is home to several comfortable bed and breakfasts that reflect southwestern Indian architecture and craftmanship. For nearly a millennium, the Taos Indians have lived at or near the present site. Constructed of adobe, the Pueblo is the largest multi-storied Pueblo structure in the United States--with a height up to five stories.
Today, the artists of Taos Pueblo create stunning handcrafted goods utilizing methods passed down through generations. Sculpture, painting and jewelry are modern expressions of traditional art forms, and one would be hard-pressed to find leatherwork of such simplicity and enduring quality. Best known for micaceous pottery (made from the mica-rich clay of northern New Mexico), the Pueblo of Taos remains the link from these early inhabitants to the present native culture.
In 1960, Taos Pueblo was designated a National Historic Landmark, and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1966. In 1992, the United Nations admitted the Pueblo to the "World Heritage List," due to its uniqueness and universal value to the heritage of all mankind. Bed and breakfast enthusiasts will enjoy the array of art museums and historic sites that Taos has to offer.
