Taos is THE BEST TRAVEL DESTINATION!!!

Taos has been a great value for travelers for a long time and remains so today (maybe an even better value). Let me share with you just a few points as to why I pose that statement.

First, lets look at the basic hotel costs. Although I hope you choose Indian Hills Inn, Taos Plaza, let's suppose you select one of Taos' higher priced choices. For most dates, you can choose one of Taos' best for maybe $250 to $350 at the busiest peak time period. Compare that to Las Vegas, or some other big city or Vail or some other big time ski area where the busy weekend may set you back $500 to $1,000 or more a night! If you choose us or another mid range hotel, you'll find our normal rates are extremely reasonable at an average of $69-79 (sometimes lower). Taos is an excellent value.

Like to have internet access? If you choose the bigger cities, free is often a word they've never used. We just paid $14.99 a day for internet access (Las Vegas). What a RIP OFF! As a quick remidner, that amounts to $450 a month! Mind boggeling. Indian Hills Inn would love to be able to charge for such service but we GIVE IT TO YOU FREE!!! Taos is the better travel value.

Most of us eat and when traveling that is usually dine out. Taos offers a number of choices where you can dine for under $10 a plate, many from $10 to $20, and also some higher. Some of those other cities ding you for $10 for a continental breakfast. Indian Hills Inn, Taos Plaza includes the continental for FREE. Want a full breakfast, you may pay $15 to 20 in many vacation spots. Lunches are hard to do for under $20 a person. I don't want to talk about dinners. Taos is the affordable choice.

Are you a skier? One of the least costly ski areas ANYWHERE is right here in Taos. That's Sipapu, about 20 miles South of Taos. Known by locals for being the first area in NM to open and the last to close, Sipapu lift tickets cost only $39 a day with many early and late dates even lower. Compare that with big Colorado areas at $65 to $95 a day. You, the Mom, and the kid can ski at Sipapu for the cost of just one of you eleswhere. Lessona nd food make the Taos value better yet!

If you like shopping, lets talk economics 101. Part of the cost of goods is the cost of the store's rent. Big traffic tourist areas have rents as high as $50 per square foot per year and higher. The higherst in Taos is about or under 30% of that. Someone pays the difference! That someone is the customer. Shop Taos for much better values!

Another means to saving money is to book direct. Onlne systems cost both you and the hotel money. Heard of Priceline? Their sales and profits and stock are soaring. It isn't just the hotel who pays that cost. It's you and the hotel! Call direct, seek the best value you can. Compare online, book direct. That will save you anwhere you travel!

Free Lecture, The Mayan Calendar (near future predictions)

Some folks thing Taos is still inhabited by hippies. Some people hear the hum. Others just wonder about Taosenos. Most sill love to visit and enjoy the heck out of spending a few days wandering the town, the area, the galleries, the museums, etc.

So, make your visit this weekend and learn what the Mayan sites and calendar say about the near term future. Speaker is Felipe Alldritt, a UNM-Taos instructor and archeologist. His teaching specialty is Mayan Archeology, has been a Latin America tour guide for 25 years, and has worked with the National Geographic institute.
