It is approximately 1000 years old and lies about 1 mile (1.6 km) north of the modern city of Taos, New Mexico, USA. The Red Willow Creek, or Rio Pueblo, is a small stream which flows through the middle of the pueblo from its source in the Sangre de Cristo Range. A reservation of 95,000 acres (384 km²) is attached to the pueblo, and about 1,900 people live in this area. Taos Pueblo is a member of the Eight Northern Pueblos. The Taos community is known for being one of the most secretive and conservative pueblos. Taos Pueblo's most prominent architectural feature is a multi-storied residential complex of reddish-brown adobe divided into two parts by the Rio Pueblo. According to the Pueblo's Web site, it was probably built between 1000 and 1450 A.D. It was designated a National Historic Landmark on October 9, 1960, and in 1992 became a World Heritage Site.

Basque explorer Don Juan de Oñate arrived in Taos in July 1598 and established a mission and trading arrangements with residents of Taos Pueblo. The settlement developed into two plazas: the Plaza at the heart of the town became a thriving business district for the early colony, and a walled residential plaza was constructed a few hundred yards behind. It remains active today, home to a throng of gift and coffee shops. The covered gazebo was donated by heiress and longtime Taos resident Mabel Dodge Luhan. On the southeastern corner of Taos Plaza is the Hotel La Fonda de Taos. Some infamous erotic paintings by D. H. Lawrence that were naughty in his day but are quite tame by present standards can be viewed ($3 entry fee for nonguests) in the former barroom beyond the lobby #11 of 18 Things To Do in Taos St. Francis of Assisi Church Taos NM ~4.12 miles from Taos city center Hotels Close to St. Francis of Assisi Church This spanish colonial church built with thick, organic curving walls has been used as a model by many New Mexico artists. #12 of 18 Things To Do in Taos Downtown Arroyo Seco (Neighborhood) Arroyo Seco NM ~7.26 miles from Taos city center Hotels Close to Downtown Arroyo Seco #13 of 18 Things To Do in Taos Taos Ski Valley Taos NM ~14.47 miles from Taos city center Hotels Close to Taos Ski Valley Taos Ski Valley is a village and alpine ski resort in Taos County, New Mexico, United States.
