About Taos
Located on a high desert in Northern New Mexico in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Taos is the Soul of the Southwest. With its cultural diversity of Pueblo Indians, Spanish and Anglo cultures and its rich artistic sensibility from ancient to contemporary, Taos offers a spectacular environment to call home in the Land of Enchantment.
Taos is the Tiwa word for "Red Willow People" which the Taos Pueblo Indians use to refer to their tribe. The Pueblo Indians have been in Taos for more than 1,000 years, the Spanish settled here over 400 years and the Anglos added to the mix around 200 years ago.
History, art and awesome natural beauty make Taos a town like no other! Funky, fun, and rough around the edges, Taos offers world class skiing, gourmet restaurants, sophisticated shops, and fine and contemporary art galleries.
Everyone is an artist in Taos and art is everywhere here! Art is displayed in over 80 art galleries and 6 museums, as well as the walls of restaurants, banks, hospital and other public spaces. Taos boasts more artists per capita than any other town in the world including painters, sculptors, writers, dancers, musicians and filmmakers.
