道师城

道师城仍然是一次真正的体验美国的旅行。那些把他们的技艺展示在各种商店的美国人确实见多识广而又积极,而且总是有很多关于他们文化的东西可以与你分享。旅行的时候我们从来没有学到过这么多东西。道师城位于一座山前,它看起来已经有一千多年的历史了。我们听到有些游客在抱怨说"印度人根本不能做任何让我们开心的事情。"这里可不是迪斯尼世界啊。如果你带着一种开放积极的心态去倾听和学习,你会得到一次全新的理解和收获。我最喜欢的三样东西是Morning Talk印度店(位于广场北面),里面陈列了漂亮精致的美国本土陶器和珠宝;Jerry Fejeran "Spotted Buffalo," 他制作了不同寻常的可爱的银饰制品;Redhill鲜花礼品店,里面有你从未见到过的纯银手镯,还有美国本土乐器。老板Redhill是位银匠-他制作的手镯是独一无二的,而且非常漂亮。吃油炸面包和越橘也是一种很棒的享受。一定要花点时间去旅行。

我在这里看到了负面的评论,但上周还是去了道师城,太让我失望了啊!他们说卖的小饰品是普韦布洛的,其实是别的地方的。这里的东西显然都不是手工制作的,各个商店的东西都大同小异。花钱买门票也就算了,反正这里是个景区,但里面的东西都太假了。周围还有很多地方可以逛呢,大家可以无视这里了......

当一个景点给我这么棒的收获的时候,我会更宁愿花钱买门票和当地的艺术品!我去去看勒原始印第安人的村庄和了解从17世纪以来他们的日常生活,尽管这些在今天已经不再重要。在这些很贵的礼物店看他们制作面包、肥皂、珠宝和手工艺品比买这些相似的商品更好玩。横跨溪流的桥也都是艺术作品,要是带一只可爱的小狗回家我们一定会很高兴的!

在80度的太阳下站在有11个世纪历史的村庄的尘埃中仰望白雪覆盖的山峰,这是我最奇妙的经历。美国人总喜欢去欧洲追寻历史,其实我们在此本身就有很多历史。村庄是砖砌的而且每年都会重换新面。这里犹如有呼吸的生命,好似惟妙惟肖的陶器一角,真的是一次全新的体验。记得带上相机,但是拍照是要收费的。预计至少要在这逗留一个半小时。出发之前要了解普韦布洛的礼节。当地的居民不但允许你去他们的住所,也同意你去他们认为很恐怖的地方。还是考虑一下报个旅游团,那样的话你会了解很多信息,使你的经历更加生动活现。最重要的是要有礼貌。

道师城是被联合国教科文组织列为世界遗产之一的景点。这是一个古老的村落,里面的那些石砖建筑为现在以及以后的人们展示了多年以前的人的生活。成人票是70元一张,你可以自己去里面逛,也可以花20块钱请个导游带你去逛。如果你想在里面照相的话,要另外叫35元的照相费。虽然这些老建筑里面没有电(但是游客中心是有电的),但是现在还是有人居住在里面的,所以,去那些古建筑照相、参观的时候请不要忘了尊重住在里面的人。我们去的那天很冷,所以那些老房子里面的壁炉都烧着火。纪念品店里面卖的那种气体打火机很有趣,你还可以在那里买几个印度当地的手工艺品,有陶器,有珠宝,还有鼓什么的。游客中心旁边就有几个卖这些小东西的摊子。这里可以刷信用卡,但是如果你想讲价的话,就要带现金了。我们要离开的时候,有两个胆子很大的小姑娘一直缠着我们,叫我们买她们自己做的手镯。最后我们不得不买了一个,还请她们帮我们包装好,当然,包装是不用另外给钱的。如果时间刚好配合得上的话,你最好挑一天这里有宗教节日的时候来玩。

Go and take a tour and ask questions. Take your time and absorb the history. Explore the shops and sit by the river on the wooden foot bridge.

You have to pay to get it, but it is well worth it. Our tour guide was excellent and we learned so much about the history of the pueblo. Highly recommend it. Definitely visit some of the shops in the Pueblo.

The pueblo stands looking timeless. The stream passing through , mountains in the distance. You can feel the sensation that you are back in time hundreds or a thousand years ago. The original mission church ruins are still there from the destruction by the US army in the period just after annexation. The tribe provides tours that show the connection of today's residents with their past. It isn't a spectacle but a visitor should have the sensibility to grasp the strength of these people to maintain what is theirs over the eons.

This was just OK. The price of admission was $16 per person...pricey for the actual experience. We took the tour lead by a young tribesman which did educate us with the history of the reservation but I was disappointed that there were no "open" pueblos to tour & only 2 vendors to buy from... I was looking for handmade authentic Indian goods. Also we were reminded several times that tipping would be appreciated. As my husband & I were the only ones on the tour I felt obligated to tip generously. I wouldn't recommend this experience due to the high price of admission.

We visited Taos Pueblo after a snowfall. The melting snow made navigating a muddy affair, but it was certainly very much worth it.Our tour-guide was knowledgeable and very friendly, like most people we met.Don't forget to tip the guide, they are college students and can use the money to finance their education.Everybody we met was kind and ready to answer questions. The local artisans took time to explain their wares and did not push to sell.This was the highlight of our trip through New Mexico.

We happened to come on a holiday and were able to watch native dancing which was interesting. Other than that, the lead your was interesting but only about 15 minutes and the rest was empty buildings. If you've never been to a pueblo it could be interesting. Otherwise, not worth the price of admission (in my opinion).

We took the guided group tour. We learned a lot about the residents, their culture and history (ok, as much as you can learn in 30 - 45 minutes). We also saw a beaver in the creek that flows through the pueblo.

Visiting Taos Pueblo was truly a moving experience for my wife and I. Standing amidst these "home" thinking back of what it must have been like centuries ago was simply amazing. I don't believe many, if anyone, actually lives there now - there are several little shops and that was a bit disappointing, however there are several you cannot go into so perhaps there are people living in the area still. The cemetery was equally moving to us. Take your time, walk around and let it take you back in time. We loved it.

We were there for your animal dances, which were interesting. Our sons were there the day before for a Christmas celebration with bonfire and food, which they really enjoyed. Not sure if they give tours, but that would be nice. Pretty amazing site.

This is probably largest pueblo I have seen in NM so far. I really liked guided tour. We learned a lot about history and traditions of Pueblo Indians.
