🌵 New Mexico | Taos & Santa Fe

NY ✈️ NM 6-Day Road Trip 🚗💨 Route: Taos → Santa Fe → Bandelier National Monument → Albuquerque → White Sands National Park → Roswell Wind, earth, and sun give life to the adobe buildings. Both Taos and Santa Fe are known for their classic adobe architecture—those beautiful, earthy structures that feel both ancient and alive. 🧱☀️ The Spanish word adobe refers to sun-dried mud bricks. Indigenous peoples of the American Southwest have used this building style since the 1400s. When the Spanish arrived in 1706, they preserved the method and added their own architectural touches. A must-see is Taos Pueblo 🏺—one of the oldest continuously inhabited communities in the U.S. and the largest ancient Indigenous settlement north of Central America. It was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1992. Well worth the drive! Santa Fe, the state capital, is home to the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum 🎨—celebrating one of America’s most significant modern artists. The town blends Native American, Spanish, Mexican, and contemporary American influences. Simply wandering around the Plaza feels incredibly chill and inspiring.
