Taos’ rich Native American heritage, which displays a profound respect for the land, continues strongly to this day. In addition to being an important historic site, Taos is also an artistic mecca, proudly offering museums and galleries of its talented artists and craftspeople. It is not uncommon to find breathtaking pottery, painting, weavings, beaded creations and jewelry produced by artists who have followed in the footsteps of those who came before them.

It is in this spirit that El Monte Sagrado follows a philosophy of sustainability and ecological awareness, honoring the environment with a way of life that has existed for thousands of years. Similarly, the resort’s unique art collection and respect for nature is a reflection of Taos’ cultural atmosphere. From the Sacred Circle’s protected space and the Living Machine’s recycling of water to the unique Biolarium®, El Monte Sagrado celebrates, embraces and respects the natural world.
