A Little About Taos
If ever there was an enchanted town,
Taos, New Mexico is it. Set in the Northern region of the state,
it is one of the most rewarding trips one could make. Rich in
history, Taos is combination of peoples and regions. Ranchos de
Taos makes up the farming community, while Pueblo de Taos encompasses
the area inhabited by the Taos Indians. Don Fernando de Taos is
the town proper, providing lodging, food and shopping. With a
blend of Hispanic and Native pueblo cultures, great food, unsurpassed
hospitality, visiting once often leads to a return trip. On a
warm day, the plaza provides a lovely respite from the activities
of everyday life. A myriad of cafes, coffee shops and small restaurants
offer refreshment and a place to interact with friends and strangers
alike. If you (or your spouse) likes to shop, then this is the
place to be! Small stores offering a variety of wares from t-shirts
and souvenir items to antiques and jewelry can be found. And oh,
the art! Taos is one of the foremost gallery towns in the Southwest,
with more than 80 privately owned galleries. People stream in
from all over the world to view special exhibits by world-renowned
New Mexican artists. This small community is also home to the
Taos Film Festival, held every Spring. Adventure lovers will find
their fill during the Summer with one of the rafting companies
located in Taos or Santa Fe. Rafting adventures vary from docile
floating rides to those that challenge the rapids of the Rio Grande.
If you'd rather keep your own two feet on the ground, there is
boundless hiking, either guided or not. And of course we can't
forget horseback riding through the cool wilderness. If you're
more of a winter adventurist, though, then you'll surely find
what you're looking for at one of the six ski areas in and around
Taos. If this isn't enough, the history alone may entrance you.
Taos Pueblo, built over 1,000 years ago, is still inhabited by
the Taos Indians. Here you will find a rich, ancient culture still
intact and very much alive. Tours of the pueblo are available,
and quite a few events are open to the public. Many artisans live
on Taos Pueblo, offering beautiful art, jewelry, weaving, pottery
and basketry for sale. And you mustn't forget to try the Indian
bread! It is quite possibly the best in the world. When in Taos,
you'll find that there are many options to satisfy the R&R
seeker. From nationally-owned hotel and motel chains, to bed and
breakfasts, not to mention private inns, it's not difficult to
find a quiet retreat from the rigors of everyday life. If you're
looking for an escape into a special, slightly magical place,
Taos will almost certainly fit the bill. With beautiful Autumn
views, crisp Winter snows, cool Summer getaways and vividly green
Springs, this is one place you won't want to miss on your trek
through the Southwest.
