Taos Walking Tour
Taos, United States
Why Walk Taos
Taos sits at nearly 7,000 feet in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, where the light and landscape have attracted artists for over a century. Taos Pueblo, a multi-story adobe complex continuously inhabited for over 1,000 years, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The town's plaza is ringed by galleries, and the legacy of artists including members of the Taos Society of Artists is visible everywhere.
