| Taos |
| |
The Taos experience consists of seeing majestic mountains rise into a cerulean blue sky, tour a 1,000-year-old pueblo and look at modern art all in one day. Every moment brings you to a higher level of life, all part of the Taos experience.
In the summer, you can splash down the icy waters of the mountainous Rio Grande on a warm 80-degree day, drink margaritas over a spicy New Mexican meal rich with our flavorful green chile, and then stare at a black velvet night sky dotted with infinite stars. Take a tour of the old hippie communes, award winning Northern New Mexico wineries, or search for the natural hot springs. You can arouse or gratify your cultural side with world-class art galleries and phenomenal museums, walking and driving tours, fine dining and shopping and much more.
Taos is a truly unique with its interweaving of nature, history, diverse culture, and fine living that makes it delicious for the soul. |

| Arroyo Seco |

Quaint in its picturesque setting, the small town of Arroyo Seco is nestled in the mountains, and overlooks Taos Mesa and the Rio Grande Gorge. A charming, 250 year old Northern New Mexico village, you will savor its engaging scenery, ambience, pristine air, and eclectic shopping opportunities.
The area began in 1804 when two brothers with the last name of Martínez planted crops there before building their houses. By 1824 there was a Hispanic community farming and developing the area. The old "arroyo seco" itself was a gully stemming off El Salto Mountain and called "el Arroyo de la Luvia" (The Arroyo of Run-Off Water).
