Taos Pueblo, Native American settlement in Taos County, United States.
The multi-story adobe buildings of Taos Pueblo stand against the desert landscape, constructed from earth, water, and straw shaped into sun-dried bricks.
Archaeological findings confirm that Native Americans inhabited this valley long before European contact, with main structures built between 1000 and 1450 CE.
The Tiwa people maintain their ancestral traditions within the pueblo, conducting ceremonies and preserving their native language through generations.
Visitors can explore the pueblo from Sunday to Saturday between 9 AM and 4 PM, with adult admission at $25 and reduced rates for seniors and students.
The original dwellings had no doors or windows, requiring inhabitants to enter through rooftop ladders that descended into the living spaces.

The region includes cave systems such as Carlsbad Caverns, extensive gypsum fields at White Sands, volcanic landscapes at El Malpais National Monument, and unusual rock formations in the Bisti/De-Na-Zin Wilderness. The territory also preserves evidence of pre-Columbian and Spanish settlement, including pueblo ruins, cliff dwellings, and seventeenth-century mission complexes. Sites range from ancient petroglyphs at Three Rivers to military installations like Fort Union. Natural attractions include hot springs at Jemez Springs, the volcanic crater of Valles Caldera, and the deep blue waters of Blue Hole. The collection features archaeological monuments such as Chaco Culture and Bandelier, geological curiosities like the hoodoos at Tent Rocks, and historic pueblos including Taos, which has been continuously inhabited for over a thousand years.
