Description
Still inhabited, the Taos Pueblo is a treasure into the past. Over 1000 years old, its history is rich. There are between 50 and 100 Taos Indians who still live there full time. Made entirely of adobe makes upkeep a constant endeavor in order to keep up its beautiful appearance. Repairs are made every year by tribal member using the mud and straw mixtures. Over time that makes for very thick walls and at times parts of walls must be knocked down.
There are many homes in the Taos Pueblo and according to tribal tradition there is no running water or electricity.
