About Taos
Taos is a high-desert town in northern New Mexico, known for its adobe Pueblo, its art colony and its views of the Sangre de Cristo mountains.
Taos Pueblo, a multi-storey adobe village of the Tiwa people, is a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the oldest continuously inhabited communities in the United States. The town grew up near it, and in the early twentieth century painters drawn by the light and landscape founded the Taos Society of Artists.
