Tours & Workshops
Learn something new, have a unique experience. A visit to Taos will include fun. It will be relaxing and invigorating. But you'll also be inspired by the ancient cultures evident in Taos architecture and art. We recommend you get to know the cultures of Taos by visiting the pueblos and the small Hispanic villages in the area. Here are a few self-guided tours centered around the history and culture of northern New Mexico.
The two-hundred-year-old Taos Plaza and the streets that radiate from it like spokes, form the National Historic District of Taos.
Prepare to enter a foreign world of sovereign nations with their own languages, traditions and customs.
Labyrinths are an ancient spiritual tradition dating back over 4,000 years and Taos is in tune with the tradition.
Taking a class or a workshop is another way to use your Taos visit for self-enrichment. Consider signing up for a pottery workshop or a photo excursion led by a prominent New Mexico photographer. Learn to blow glass. Take a creative writing workshop. There are full semester classes offered at the Taos campus of the University of New Mexico. SMU (Southern Methodist University) has a campus in Taos. Mabel Dodge Lujan House offers multi-day workshops throughout the year. Taos Institute of Glass Arts, Taos Art School, and Taos Clay and Wannamaker Pottery also offer day and multiday hands-on classes.
