It's hard to summarize in a blog just exactly what the Taos Pueblo is, but I'm going to try.
First, it is a World Heritage Site recognized by UNESCO as one of those places that all of us have a duty to preserve. Take a few minutes to read the "official" description as to why Taos Pueblo is such a special place.
Second, Taos Pueblo is the only inhabited World Heritage Site in the United States. This means that in addition to all those incredible things that make it a World Heritage Site, it is also a place that many people call home.
Third, the people of the Taos Pueblo are nothing short of a treasure. They have worked tirelessly over the decades of American rule to preserve their heritage while also being citizens of the United States. Taos Indians have long been known to be the best type of friends anyone can have and their allegiance to our country in the form of the ultimate sacrifice is legendary.
Finally, the five story structures made of adobe are the oldest continuously inhabited structures in North America. When the Spanish Conquistadors arrived 500 years ago, the buildings had already been standing for 500 years. Yes, right here in Taos on the Pueblo are 1000 year-old homes.
I'll revisit this topic from time to time in the future. My Mom and I visited there on a beautiful early Spring day in March and fell in love with this incredible place all over again.
In the meantime, I encourage you to read my reviews on TripAdvisor.com regarding the Pueblo. I can assure you that anyone posting a negative review is simply confused at the difference between an ancient people's ancestral home and Disney World.

It feels like home to me and I only stayed there about a month 60 years ago as a guest to an incredible family, Pete & Isabel Concha.
