Taos Attractions
Three important Taos attractions are at the heart of what this town is all about when there's not any snow on the ground: Taos Pueblo, Taos Plaza, and the San Francisco de Asis Church. The Taos Pueblo is the second oldest continuously inhabited town in the nation and is a major tourist attraction. The Taos Plaza is located at the center of much of the historic goings on that reflect the history of the Southwest. The plaza is also at the center of the more than 50 art galleries and studios that make this such a thriving art market. There are museums exhibiting historic artifacts and art. And the famous San Francisco de Asis Church, located four miles south of Taos in Ranchos de Taos, is an often photographed site with its massive adobe walls and mysterious painting. And there are numerous natural attractions as well like the 650-foot deep Rio Grande Gorge and the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Clearly, it's impossible to have a "favorite" attraction in Taos, New Mexico.Taos Attractions
