Adobe architecture, red chiles & over 1,000 years of tradition in Taos Pueblo, NM. 💫 ➳ ➳ ➳ Considered to be one of the oldest continuously-inhabited communities in the United States, Taos Pueblo is also the only living Native American community designated both a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a National Historic Landmark. Open to visitors daily ($16.00 pp tourist fee for adults; children 10 & under are free), you can stroll through the storied pueblo, filled with original adobe homes, artisan shops with handmade wares, and endless scenery at the base of the Sangre de Cristo Mountain range. You can even take a gratis guided tour where you'll learn more about the community's history, stories and modern-day living, running every 20-30 minutes on the hour. More at www.taospueblo.com. 🌄 #travelinglamas #newmexicotrue #taospueblo #highroadtotaos . . . . . . . . . #thehighroadtotaos #taos #taospueblo #taospueblonm #taospueblonewmexico #visittaos #visittaosphoto #taosnewmexico #taosnmtrue #taosnm #newmexico #newmexicotravel #adobearchitecture #newmexicochile #newmexicochiles #visitnewmexico #roadtrip #roadtripping #roadtrippers #newmexicoroadtrip #travelcouple #travelcouples #travelcouplelife #travelcouplegoals #marriedtravelcouple

Meanwhile in New Mexico...✌🏼 ➳ ➳ ➳ While driving the High Road to Taos, be sure to stop and admire the historic San José de Gracia Church in Las Trampas. Built between 1760 & 1776, this adobe beauty holds claim as one of the most original & best-preserved examples of a Spanish Colonial Pueblo mission church in New Mexico. We were there on a weekday so weren't able to go inside, but the church is open to visitors on weekends. ⛪️🌶 #travelinglamas #newmexicotrue #sanjosedegracia #highroadtotaos . . . . . . . . . #thehighroadtotaos #lastrampas #lastrampasnm #lastrampasnewmexico #trampas #trampasnm #trampasnewmexico #newmexico #newmexicotravel #adobechurch #adobearchitecture #newmexicochurch #visitnewmexico #historicchurch #historicchurches #roadtrip #roadtripping #roadtrippers #newmexicoroadtrip #scenicdrive #travelcouple #travelcouples #travelcouplelife #travelcouplegoals #marriedtravelcouple

El Santuario de Chimayo: a must-stop on your route along The High Road to Taos. ✝ ➳ ➳ ➳ Established in 1816, this small church - now a National Historic Landmark - is considered one of the most important Catholic pilgrimage sites in the United States. Each year during Holy Week, 30,000+ Native Americans, Hispanics, and other people of faith make their way to the site, many walking 30 miles from Santa Fe, others as far as Albuquerque (90 miles), and some making the journey barefoot or bearing large wooden crosses. Its popularity is due to the site's "El Pocito," a small hole in the ground filled with "Tierra Bendita" or "holy dirt," believed to have miraculous healing powers. Whether or not you're a believer, El Santuario de Chimayo is worthy of a stop to marvel at the church's preserved Spanish Colonial architecture, complete with thick adobe walls, two bell towers and a six-foot crucifix. Make sure to wander the surrounding grounds behind the church as well, and the small on-site welcome center is worth a quick stop for more on the site's history. ⛪️ #travelinglamas #santuariodechimayo #elsantuariodechimayo #highroadtotaos #newmexicotrue . . . . . . . . . #thehighroadtotaos #chimayo #chimayonm #chimayonewmexico #newmexico #newmexicotravel #adobechurch #adobearchitecture #newmexicochurch #visitnewmexico #historicchurch #historicchurches #holydirt #elpocito #roadtrip #roadtripping #roadtrippers #newmexicoroadtrip #scenicdrive #travelcouple #travelcouples #travelcouplelife #travelcouplegoals #marriedtravelcouple

Are you going my way? 😂😍 Stopping for views (& a cute hitchhiker) on the High Road to Taos. See more in our New Mexico Highlight! #travelinglamas #newmexicotrue #highroadtotaos #roadtripping . . . P.S. We are currently in the middle of a 2 month+ road trip! Which can be a complicated feat if, like us, you live in New York City and don't own a car. After comparing pretty much every car rental company under the sun, we reserved a car with @enterprise. We found them to offer the best value on monthly rentals, plus - no additional driver’s fee for your spouse! A head's up if renting for more than 1 month, you'll need to stop at an Enterprise somewhere along your route every 30 days (give or take) for a car check-up, at which time they may swap you out for a new one. So far, so good! We've been in two cars which have both been great (current: @hyundaiusa elantra), and only good things to say about customer service. 3 more weeks to go! 🚗💨 . . Have you ever rented a vehicle (car, RV or otherwise) for an extended road trip? How was your experience? . . . . . . . . . #thehighroadtotaos #newmexico #newmexicomountains #newmexicoviews #visitnewmexico #newmexicotravel #mountainview #mountainviews #scenicdrive #hitchhiker #hitchhiking #roadtrip #roadtrips #roadtrippers #roadtripusa #usaroadtrip #roadtrippingusa #ontheroadagain #enterprise #enterprisecarrental #travelcouple #travelcouples #marriedtravelcouple #travelcouplelife #travelcouplegoals

Driving the High Road to Taos, a 56-mile scenic byway stretching from Santa Fe --> Taos through the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The route winds through high desert, soaring mountains, forests and small farms, offering travelers an authentic remnant of Old Spain as you pass (and stop in!) tiny mountain villages still clinging to Spanish colonial roots. Historic churches, adobe architecture, artist galleries and more await, surrounded by picturesque views everywhere your turn. See more in our IG story! 🚗💨 #travelinglamas #highroadtotaos #newmexicotrue . . . . . . . . #newmexico #newmexicomountains #newmexicoviews #visitnewmexico #newmexicotravel #mountainview #mountainviews #scenicdrive #scenicdrives #scenicbyway #roadtrip #roadtrips #roadtrippers #roadtripping #roadtripusa #usaroadtrip #openroad #southwest #southwestroadtrip #roadtrippingusa #ontheroadagain #travelcouple #travelcouples #travelcouplelife #travelcouplegoals #marriedtravelcouple
