Create an itinerary including Taos Pueblo
Taos Pueblo represents the ancient tribe of the Taos people. It is one of the oldest continuously inhabited places in the United States. This World Heritage Site is internationally recognized for its multi-storied residential pueblos and the residents' private lifestyle. The tribe welcomes visitors in its public places, but asks visitors to respect its culture. For example, do not take photos of the tribal residents and inside the San Geronimo Chapel. Shops and businesses open to the public are clearly marked with signs. The stream that runs through the village is the community's sole source of drinking water, so do not enter the water. To visit Taos Pueblo on your holiday in Taos, and find out what else Taos has to offer, use our Taos.

  • Free tour given by a girl from the Pueblo community. She did a great job but the experience was not quite as interesting as I expected it to be. There was snow melt and the ground was very muddy...

  • We fortunately arrived here 2 weeks after they had ceased being closed for several years due to COVID. It was a spectacular experience overall -- to walk around this ancient site, to hear the history and the details of life here -- all fascinating and beautiful! An image from there is now my phone's wall paper. Guided tours are given by young Native American women. We ate delicious Frye Bread burgers there cooked for us in a small pueblo home. Recommended.
  • Great. What a beautiful community, and how lucky that the residents are willing to share it with us. The first tribe member I encountered was man in a pickup truck who was working the main drive with a shovel cutting drainage ways. He said, "Hello! Welcome to our home." Each of the residents I met was friendly and polite. Most were folks who had little shops in the front room of their homes, and were selling either hand made items like jewelry, or pottery, or were selling food. Some, both. The only thing I didn't like was the sign that said, "Please don't pet the animals." It was difficult to refrain from greeting the dogs and cats we encountered. But, their home; their rules.
  • UNESCO World Heritage Site!!! This place is super amazing, takes you to ride of history and architecture. Recommend time would be 2nd week of Oct to be the feel of Fall and nice cool breeze.
  • The place is great and it is a great way to discover the way of living of native Americans. But $16 for each adult is too much for what there is to visit. Even if it is the money goes to support the community it is a really high entrance. I enjoyed it and I am happy I visited but I am still mad for the expensive ticket to enter.
  • How often do you get to take a step back in time to observe a unique and beautiful culture mindful of co-existing with nature while learning their ways of life? With many tribe members welcoming visitors to step into their businesses to learn a bit of their history, we found ourselves spending a good 2.5 hours engaging numerous tribe members. There are many wonderful pieces of handcrafted jewelry and artwork available for purchase. $16 for adults and $14 for kids for admission is reasonable with no charge for parking.
