Taos Pueblo is the only living Native American community designated both a World Heritage Site by UNESCO and a National Historic Landmark. The multi-storied adobe buildings have been continuously inhabited for over 1000 years. This is a great opportunity to visit such a beautiful community and get a real taste of the culture of the Taos Pueblo people.
Visiting the Earthship Visitor Center is around a 30-50 minute experience where you get to tour an eco-constructed building and learn all about sustainable building. You can even book one of the other earthships to stay in while visiting Taos!
If you’re checking out the hot springs circuit in New Mexico, it’s well worth going to Ojo Caliente, which is 50 minutes southwest of Taos. The private springs reside in the Ojo Spa Resort which is one of the country’s oldest health spas, tucked among the red landscape and cottonwood-lined cliffs. The hot mineral waters are rich in lithia, arsenic, iron, and soda, and are believed to have healing qualities. Ojo Caliente is Izzy's favorite "treat yourself" experience in New Mexico, and is a perfect way to soak away all stress and leave feeling like a new person.
Taos Plaza is the center of the Taos Historic District where locals gather for live music and farmers markets and visitors stroll through shops and galleries, continuing centuries of living culture in the heart of Taos. This is a great shopping location, located only 3 minutes by car and 10 minutes by foot from El Monte Sagrado, with coffee, ice cream, small shops, restaurants, and art galleries.
