The village of Arroyo Seco sits just north of Taos along NM 150 — the scenic road to Taos Ski Valley — and serves as a creative, easygoing basecamp between town and the mountains.
Its character comes through in its walkable main street, where locally owned shops, galleries and eateries reflect the area’s long-standing artistic spirit and tight-knit feel.
History remains part of the village fabric. La Santísima Trinidad Church, built prior to 1834, is listed on the State Register of Cultural Properties and stands as a reminder of Arroyo Seco’s deep roots in Northern New Mexico.
Seco Live continues to anchor the local arts scene with community-driven programming, including seasonal events like Seco Potter Fest and other workshops, concerts and gatherings throughout the summer and
fall.
Visitors are encouraged to check current listings for up- dated schedules.
With its blend of culture, history and proximity to alpine adventure, Arroyo Seco remains one of the Taos Valley’s most inviting small communities — a place where a day in the mountains ends with a relaxed evening in the village.
