Taos, New Mexico 💙 Is This Even Real? 🎮🏜️

Stepping into Taos Pueblo feels like entering a video game world — but it’s real! This is one of the oldest continuously inhabited communities in the U.S., with a history stretching back over 1,000 years. What amazed me most? People here still maintain traditional ways of living — no electricity or running water in some homes. 🙌 📍 Located just 15 km from downtown Taos, this UNESCO World Heritage site (listed in 1992) preserves ancient Pueblo architecture and culture. The multi-story adobe buildings, made from sun-dried bricks of sand, clay, and straw, are perfectly adapted to the desert climate. 🌞🧱 These structures showcase incredible ingenuity: Walls are thick to keep interiors cool Traditional homes had no doors or windows — entry was through roof openings via ladder (for defense!) The iconic “Taos Blue” painted doors and windows were added later We tried freshly baked bread from a local home — slightly sweet and salty, similar to Cantonese ngaau lei sou . 🍞🤎 And don’t miss: Taos Cow 🍦 (736 Kit Carson Rd) for amazing local ice cream The adorable Adobe-style McDonald’s — probably the most unique one you’ll ever see! ⚠️ Remember: Some areas are off-limits to visitors. Always respect local culture and privacy. 🎮💬 If you love history, culture, and landscapes that feel like another world — Taos Pueblo is absolutely worth the $25 entry. We left feeling inspired! #Taos #NewMexico #UNESCO #CulturalTravel #AdobeArchitecture #HiddenGems
