My family always loves stopping by this place when we're in Angel Fire - the owners and artists are so welcoming, so kind, and always happy to take the time to explain their process to you and give you a full tour of the studio and kiln where their works take shape. Every piece they make is beautiful and unique, and it's a great place to pick up gifts both for yourself and for others! Highly recommend stopping there if you're ever in the Enchanted Circle!

We rented ski equipment here. These folks were so friendly, and accommodating to our needs. The pricing was great too. We ended up buying some ski wear too. No pushy sales people. Very helpful and kind. I have a special needs child and they were very sweet to him and treated him just like a member of their family. I am a travel agent and would highly recommend renting from this place. Their store is amazing as well. We will definitely be back.

I've been using these soaps, lotions, and candles exclusively for more than a decade now because they're such high quality and a good value. The label art and wide variety of scents meant I was never bored, and I was happy to support a Native women who makes every item by hand, even hand-tearing the cloth that the soap is wrapped in. So I was very excited to learn that the owner (a Native woman) had opened a retail shop in Taos. This shop is everything you'd think it would be -- warm, funky, friendly, full of light and good smells. In addition to the handmade soaps, lotions, candles, bath salts, and bath bombs, there's a ton of local art for sale -- large-scale paintings and multimedia hangings, smaller paintings and photographs and sculptural pieces, jewelry, mugs from local artists, local honey & jam, salves, even greeting cards and tarot cards. This is a MUST GO if you're in Taos -- right across from Michael's Kitchen. DON'T MISS IT!

If you are looking for the perfect gift or home and garden discovery, stopping in at this great Mexican emporium is a must. From the largest collection of Oaxacan miniatures (Alebrijes) outside of Oaxaca to vast collections of hand-painted pots -- and everything in between -- Camino Real is the place to lose yourself in the wonders of Mexican artistry. Tanya was in charge the day we visited, and she knows the merchandise down to the tiniest detail. Don't leave Taos without taking a gander through Camino Real Imports!.
