Sightseeing

Living and thriving for more than 1000 years, Taos Pueblo is the only Native American living community that is designated as both a National Historic Landmark and a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. About 150 Puebloan live in the Pueblo today permanently. Since tradition demands no electricity and no running water in the pueblo, most families come to the old pueblo for the ceremonies and live in more modern homes on the pueblo land or elsewhere. http://taospueblo.com Address: 120 Veterans Hwy, Taos, New Mexico 87571, Phone: 575-758-1028

It is truly breathtaking when you see this flat Mesa for miles and suddenly a crack in the Earth 565 deep to the Rio Grande River. To witness it from the center of the bridge is intoxicating and a feeling of floating over the gorge. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rio_Grande_Gorge_Bridge

(*FYI*The first ever Earthship is right across the street from Casita Benitez.) The Earthship Biotecture World Headquarters and Visitor Center is something of a rarity; it is a museum built to showcase sustainability through “earthships,”sustainably built living quarters. There is a purpose built gallery area where visitors can enjoy a self-guided tour of an earthship that serves to provide education on environmental issues such as recycled water and solar power. https://www.earthshipglobal.com
