Thank you and all who made the video. My favorite activities in Taos are art, yoga,meditation, hiking, culture. Taos is a days drive to two national labs and many scientists live and retire in the area, a very good area for the well educated free thinker. People are encouraged to be themselves in a quiet, calm way. Self promotion is not required. I love the flute music, really fits the Taos mood.
@@barbaraolson600 Thanks for commenting, Barbara! My interests are similar. Especially good to get a general feel of the place. Yoga, meditation, beautiful indigenous culture, hiking...and, it seems like a refined, quiet setting. Can't wait to visit! Thanks!
Wonderful video of Taos... Probably the best I've seen about how it really is there. Thank you for letting the world 🌍 know about Taos... I'm from Pueblo Colorado lived in ❤Taos❤ 7 year's ago. My heart is still there ❣️🙏🏽🙂💯💯
AS a old New Mexico native, 1/4 Hopi, 1/4 Spanish steeped in New Mexico, I can say this video was thoroughly enjoyable. Made me long for home. Visually, it was beautiful. High quality video. ---- Lazoma Chavez
I've lived in NM since the 60's. visited in and around taos many times. Seeing the 'guts' of the town makes me want to visit again. Thanks for the film!
Taos is a special place! The golf course is wonderfully scenic as well, casual, inviting with an excellent restaurant outdoors with super views. Great place for a glass of wine, good food and beautiful sunsets!
We’ve been travelling all over the US, all 50 states. Later this year we are (among many other destinations) going to Taos and thus came across your video. Very inspiring - and (in case you didn’t know): you are one heck of a professiomal narrator 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I am living overseas but I am from Taos. I was looking for A video to show people the town that I live in. This is the video I have been looking for. Thank you for posting. One quibble: Bearclaw and The Gorge are not quintessential Taos restaurants. In fact, they are considered duds by locals. Orlando’s Restaurant serves the best local Spanish food ( we don’t call it Mexican food as you called it your video. There is a difference as any local will tell you) . You might also try real Mexican food like the best fish tacos ever at the Guadalajara Grill.
Yes, I've lived here around twenty years (which isn't long, lol: gotta know what 'local' means as a non-local: families here have centuries if not thousands of years of history!).....anyway: Orlando's for sure There's good ole Michael's Kitchen.... Taos Pizza 'outback' & if want a brew pub: Eske's! Glad to see this was made in 2019 & still good vibes Taos has seen a downtown in the last 5-10 years So many local businesses & restaurants gone.....BNB type places ruining local housing, hotels shuttered & rotting... Taos has come through hard times before: may it survive again & maintain it's rugged beauty, eclectic character & creative soul with an eye to the deep traditions and heritage that make it unique!
Thanks for the info! I'm from Oklahoma but planning a spring break trip to NM. Been watching UA-cam videos to figure out where I'm going to go and what to do. Looks like Taos is the place to go! And I definitely need to have Orlando's on my list to do!
@@cindyblount8621I see that this was years ago, but please tell me there has been a turn around. This video inspired me to take a solo trip for some soul searching.
I’ve officially watched this video over ten times. A bit embarrassed to say but it’s because it’s really good. Probably the beat video on Taos on UA-cam. Yes...I’ve seen them all. Love the flute player and your view of this amazing town.
Very nice video, I'm from Pueblo Colorado been back to my home 18 months. I've been back to Taos at least 10 times pre covid. Lived there 6 plus year's and have so many wonder Family Friends there. Been to every place in your beautiful video and many other places not in your video. You had 4 days so it wasn't possible, nice job though. I lived in Ranchos De Taos 1 year then on Beautiful Burch Street 2 blocks from the Plaza. Not sure if you made it to El Monterey Selgrado but if not be sure and go next time. So happy to here you did go to the Beautiful Taos Pueblo, so many very close Family Friends that live there, I'm so Blessed to have been able to have free reign to go any place on the vast Taos Pueblo, so appreciative for my Taos Pueblo Family. Again thank you for your great video, brings me so many cherished memories.
I'm from Taos! :D I've been living here most of my life, so it was neat seeing an outsider's perspective on this place. There are lots of great restaurants here that weren't mentioned in this video, particularly Michael's Kitchen (just north of Bear Claw Café), El Taoseño (just south of Albertson's), and The Alley Cantina (on the edge of the plaza). The calamari and the green chile cheeseburgers at the Alley are my personal favorites, and every time my grandma flies in for a visit, she takes us to El Taoseño so she can get a smothered burrito. If you're into nature, you should also check out the wetlands/nature walk at Fred Baca Park. Make sure to buy some green chile to take home too! Once you try it, you'll be hooked ;)
This mini documentary reminded me of Anthony Bourdain, may he rest in peace. NB did an incredible job capturing the essence of Taos. Thank you for sharing.
I lived there for 17 years. You really captured the allure of the place! Should’ve mentioned the Taos Pueblo Powwow, rafting down the RioGrande, the multi-cultural aspect, and the nearby ski valley!
Might I say that this was a very well done presentation. I pride myself in creating high quality adventure travel content and I felt your commentary, clips, and so forth were well done. Thank you.
Me and my husband plan to visit New Mexico in first week of May 2021. This video convinces us to stay couple days in Taos. Thank you for very interested video.
What an excellent presentation. So disappointing more people have not discovered your channel. We were in Taos 2 years ago and now realize we missed so much to see. We will go back again to Santa Fe and Taos. Thank you.
Fantastic video on my favorite place in the US. You captured the soul of the town well. Your also correct in that there is so much more to see, especially outdoors activities. A trip up to Taos Ski valley to hike or mountain bike is a must, along with a stop for ice cream in Arroyo Seco art comunity. My only quibble is the food. New Mexican food is distinctly different from Mexican food. Check out the local favorites, Michaels Kitchen, Orlandos and Taos Pizza Outback.
I love my town. ❤ Visit Lucid Massage and Art Studio, my massage studio which has my deceased mother's sculptures on display. In Cabot Plaza which was Kit Carson's horse stables. Taos is beautiful. I have lived here 25 years. ❤
We live in Southern New Hampshire and have not yet visited Taos. Your video put Taos on our next trip. FWIW - We have several jars of Hatch Green Chile in the kitchen. I really miss NM. Maybe next year.
First time seeing your channel, Alex. Taos is my favorite town in the U.S. and I can't wait for my next visit. Your content and production quality are superb. Thanks for your attention to detail, as well as talent! Subscribed.
LOVED this video! My wife and I will be relocating to Taos for work for 3 months and you made us so much more excited for our adventure. Love you style, glad to have found you so early! I will be watching more videos, you’ll do great! Keep em coming!
What a joyful surprise. A rare gem of a UA-cam channel . Beautifully made video. Well written transcript. Tastefully filmed and edited pictures. I immediately subscribed your channel with all the expectation for more wonderful programs keeps coming.
Working at the nearby Philmont scout ranch for several years, Taos was always THE place to go on our days off for all the reasons you mentioned, plus, may I add, the Black rock hot springs down along the Rio Grand, the awe inspiring, creative architecture of the Earthships, the view of MT. Wheeler from Arroyo Seco and of course the pueblo itself, free standing and continuously occupied since at least the days of Ghengis Khan! Great video though, and I can't wait for my next visit..
You can't see Wheeler Peak from Arroyo Seco. You're looking at El Salto or Taos Mountain in the foreground and Vallecito or West side of Lakefork / Kachina in background. Ironically, the only real view of Wheeler peak from outside the valley is out your way in the Moreno valley.
This is terrific! Great photography and music combined with an intriguing narrative delivered in an expressive voice. So far I've only watched your Taos video, but plan to check out all the others!
Going to Taos and then Santa Fe for Zozobra in September! Can’t wait. Thanks for the suggestions, I’ll definitely hit up Love Apple. After a review like that, how could I not?
I hope you like it as much as we did. I just looked up Zozobra and I can't believe I've never heard of that before. It looks amazing! Have fun down there!
I really like the narration and the way that you did this whole video. It looks like such a beautiful place to be. The way I came across this video is because my band and I just produced a song a few weeks ago called "Santa Fe, New Mexico", that has nothing to do with Santa Fe, other than the fact that it's a good place for lying low. I don't know if it is, though, but it certainly seems like a really cool place to come visit and hang out. BTW Please check out our song if you can. Just go the sleeping tiger icon and it will bring you right to it. We're a new band in Chicago, all our stuff is original, but this new version of this Santa Fe song may be my personal favorite.
Beautiful photograph! Thank you. Love New Mexico, the climate, art and people. The cultures are beautifully blended. Unfortunately, I am in a wheelchair and need to have wheelchair access to everything, which eliminates many cultural sights.
Thanks for a great video. My wife and I are planning a visit to Taos. We hope to see lots of leaves on the trees when we go. When did you shoot this video?
Hey, thanks for watching! That song is a piece I wrote for this episode - the guy you see playing flute was a local we met in the plaza, and I recorded a few minutes of him improvising. I took that recording, mixed it with some Native American drums I had sampled when we visited the Taos Drum Company, played and recorded some other elements (guitar, bass, keyboards, etc) and made that song. It's called 'Drums of Thunder'. I actually write all of the music for these films, often using sounds and street musicians we record while traveling in the places we visit. In any case, thanks for the kind words, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent video! However, I feel guilty when I say please don't be so loud. NM is a secret treasure that my wife and I love and don't want to see spoiled. ;)
Jacinda Oh, and don’t forget to go to churches it’s an old Adobe so it’s all cool like it feels like an air conditioner but it’s because of the adobe walls in the food is delicious at churches
Yo, whats ups with this insane quality content? 1.2k subs algorithm is wack, are all these videos your personal travels? Edit: even the wal-mart structure is adobe facade!Or that maybe santa fe. But still! Lol
I love the pop-up book museum it’s pictures they look like pop-up books. I forget what it’s called but it’s the same concept as the museum but it has Papa pictures like are in a pop-up book but the pictures on the wall maybe some thing else with the museum is called as I’ve forgotten and where it’s located.
Just a quick warning to people who haven’t visited northern New Mexico before-make sure to stay hydrated. This place is a desert. Not a hot desert like Arizona, but a cold high desert like Mongolia. It can be warm in the summer and absolutely freezing in the winter (Taos is colder than Chicago and Boston on average; winter nights are like Minnesota). The lack of humidity will dry your skin out, and the sun can be really intense. Early summer winds can bring dust storms. It’s a beautiful place to visit (and live), the town and mountains are lovely, but it can still be challenging because it’s a desert environment.
Maybe “desert” was too harsh. Taos has a humid continental climate. It’s just, as someone who has lived in New England, it seems really, really dry and sunny.
Don’t forget to buy the cactus wine because it’s made out of cactus juice and it’s the best I guess I’ve never had I’m not but cactus I mean cactus juice or cactus wine is delicious
Hi Ghazaleh Khalifeh! We write all of the music ourselves for each video. You can find the tracks from all of our videos at audiojungle.net/user/alexbassguy/portfolio if you want to buy them to use in your own projects royalty free :)
What do you guys think of Taos? Let us know in the comments below. Thanks for watching!
LOVED MY TIME THERE AND ALWAYS WILL. 7 year's everyday was a pleasure...thank you for sharing this.👍🏽🙏🏽🙂❣️💯💯
Thank you and all who made the video. My favorite activities in Taos are art, yoga,meditation, hiking, culture. Taos is a days drive to two national labs and many scientists live and retire in the area, a very good area for the well educated free thinker. People are encouraged to be themselves in a quiet, calm way. Self promotion is not required. I love the flute music, really fits the Taos mood.
@@barbaraolson600 Thanks for commenting, Barbara! My interests are similar. Especially good to get a general feel of the place. Yoga, meditation, beautiful indigenous culture, hiking...and, it seems like a refined, quiet setting. Can't wait to visit! Thanks!
Have always loved Taos. Try to visit as often as I can.
I love Taos! I cannot leave and haven't for 25 years!
Wonderful video of Taos... Probably the best I've seen about how it really is there. Thank you for letting the world 🌍 know about Taos... I'm from Pueblo Colorado lived in
❤Taos❤ 7 year's ago. My heart is still there ❣️🙏🏽🙂💯💯
This is a masterpiece on display. Both the video production, cinematology, and the details of Taos, New Mexico. I am extremely grateful.
Ive never been to Taos... But uou just made me fall in love with it.

There's good ole Michael's Kitchen....
Taos Pizza 'outback'
& if want a brew pub: Eske's!
Glad to see this was made in 2019 & still good vibes
Taos has seen a downtown in the last 5-10 years
So many local businesses & restaurants gone.....BNB type places ruining local housing, hotels shuttered & rotting...
Taos has come through hard times before: may it survive again & maintain it's rugged beauty, eclectic character & creative soul with an eye to the deep traditions and heritage that make it unique!

I've been to Taos once in the mid 90s. Pretty town.
I missed mention of the Mabel Dodge Luhan house-always wanted to visit! Otherweise, great video
This was a fabulous video and explained all the reasons why I love to visit there!
I lived there for 17 years. You really captured the allure of the place! Should’ve mentioned the Taos Pueblo Powwow, rafting down the RioGrande, the multi-cultural aspect, and the nearby ski valley!
Loved it
Taos looks awesome! Definitely going there when I head back to New Mexico! 👾
Thanks man! You should definitely check it out. We had a great time, if you couldn't tell, lol
That intro: Amen brother! Someone finally heard my thoughts 😅
One of the best travel videos I've ever seen. Looking forward to checking more of your videos out!

Lovely video. You captured the essence of our town. FYI, Taoseño is what the proud peoples of Taos are called.

I’ve been going to Taos for five decades and have truly loved it. I would say my hometown of Fort Worth has quite a bit of culture.
Fantastic vid. Found this from z-cam fb group. Keep up the great work.
Thanks so much man, appreciate the kind words! The ZCAM is a beast for sure.
Excited to be apart of your journey from the beginning🙌🏾love it 💜

Thanks for the kind words! Definitely head there if you can. It's wonderful.
Great video, next time check out the earthships !
Makes me want to move to Taos
This is terrific! Great photography and music combined with an intriguing narrative delivered in an expressive voice. So far I've only watched your Taos video, but plan to check out all the others!
Thanks so much Melissa - glad you enjoyed it!
Been there 4 times - and I’m from the Netherlands, Europe. Last time I spend almost 3 weeks solely in Albuquerque Old Town, Santa Fe and Taos.
Informative video! Thank you!
Thanks for watching! Glad you liked it.
Preach! You are so right!
Thanks for watching!

We haven't. But they look like a great time. Maybe one day!

Need to go to love Apple
One for the algorithm boy! TO THE MOON!
hey, thanks for this great video. The music at the beginning is fantastic, can I find it anywhere?
Thanks so much! I produced all of the music for the video, it's on our SoundCloud.
Wow
Taos Pizza Out Back is really good and I'm from NYC
So many Subaru’s, so many crunchies.
Thanks for a great video. My wife and I are planning a visit to Taos. We hope to see lots of leaves on the trees when we go. When did you shoot this video?
We shot this in July of 2019.
I’m from Taos!
Lucky. We love Taos!
Great video. What is the song during the introduction?
Hey, thanks for watching! That song is a piece I wrote for this episode - the guy you see playing flute was a local we met in the plaza, and I recorded a few minutes of him improvising.

Edit: even the wal-mart structure is adobe facade!Or that maybe santa fe. But still! Lol
Yep, these videos document (mostly) everywhere we've been since about 2018. Glad you like them!
I love the pop-up book museum it’s pictures they look like pop-up books. I forget what it’s called but it’s the same concept as the museum but it has Papa pictures like are in a pop-up book but the pictures on the wall maybe some thing else with the museum is called as I’ve forgotten and where it’s located.
Did you play everything on "Autumn Leaves"?
Ha - no, that was featuring a few friends of mine. I wish I could play keys like that. I did engineer the session and mix though!
💖
Isnt Taos a gateway to another dimension?
Ha! I think that's Sedona. Taos is pretty dang neat though.
You left out perhaps the most photographed church in the world; Saint Francis Church, Ranchos de Taos.
He had video of it..

Nomadic Bard Thank you so much for the information! It’s wonderful.
P.S. You don't have to be a golfer to enjoy the food at the Taos CC golf course, it is open to the public, a favorite destination when I'm in Taos.
