点评:I almost decided not to visit Taos Pueblo because of the negative TripAdvisor reviews, but reading other travel sites and a Moon's travel book on New Mexico, which described it as a must see, we decided to go. I can see the points that the negative reviewers came up with, but overall I disagree. So, I'll focus my review on my take on the negative reviews.
Yes, it is expensive at $25 per person. But that money is going to help the local Pueblo community and helping keep up the buildings in the Pueblo. It's been around for 1000 years with people living in it. It requires a lot of work. I feel like my ancestors have done their share screwing over Native Americans, so I don't mind paying a lot to see a UNESCO World Heritage Site. For most people, if you want to see a real pueblo, this is their best chance.
The tours are free, but you're encouraged to tip. Yes, the tour guides aren't that great, but they are high school kids from the Pueblo. I probably wouldn't have been a very good tour guide at that age either. They're friendly and try to be helpful, but I didn't expect them to be expert tour guides. It's a nice way for them to be involved in telling others about their culture and history.
Yes, there are a lot of stores in the pueblo, selling food, art, and crafts. They're not touristy things they're selling, it's authentic Pueblo art they have made and are selling. Their prices are reasonable, and the people are friendly and not pushy at all in trying to get you to buy.
I definitely think it's worth visiting Taos Pueblo if you're in New Mexico.
One final tip, don't pet the dogs. We assumed they were local pets, but we were told that they're wild dogs that come and go.
翻译:由于 TripAdvisor 的负面评论,我几乎决定不去 Taos Pueblo,但在阅读了其他旅游网站和 Moon 的新墨西哥州旅游书后,我们决定去那里,Moon 的书将 Taos Pueblo 描述为必看景点。我明白负面评论者提出的观点,但总体而言,我不同意。因此,我将重点关注我对负面评论的看法。
是的,这里很贵,每人 25 美元。但这笔钱将帮助当地的 Pueblo 社区,帮助维护 Pueblo 的建筑。它已经存在了 1000 年,人们住在里面。这需要大量的工作。我觉得我的祖先也曾欺负过美洲原住民,所以我不介意花很多钱去看联合国教科文组织世界遗产。对于大多数人来说,如果你想看真正的 Pueblo,这是他们最好的机会。
游览是免费的,但鼓励你给小费。是的,导游不是那么好,但他们是来自 Pueblo 的高中生。我在那个年纪可能也不会成为一名很好的导游。他们很友好,也尽力提供帮助,但我没想到他们会是专业的导游。这是他们向他人介绍其文化和历史的好方法。
是的,普韦布洛镇有很多商店,出售食品、艺术品和工艺品。他们卖的不是旅游产品,而是他们制作和出售的正宗普韦布洛艺术品。他们的价格合理,人们很友好,一点也不强迫你买。
如果你在新墨西哥州,我认为陶斯普韦布洛镇绝对值得一游。
最后一条建议,不要抚摸狗。我们以为它们是当地的宠物,但我们被告知它们是来来去去的野狗。
