Ojo Caliente is an unincorporated community in Taos County, New Mexico, United States, along the Rio Ojo Caliente.[1]
Ojo Caliente lies along U.S. Route 285 near the Rio Grande between Española and Taos, approximately 50 miles (80 km) north of Santa Fe, the state capital. The community consist mainly of small farms irrigated by acequias fed by water from the Rio Ojo Caliente.
The community, known for its Ojo Caliente Hot Springs, is one of the oldest health resorts in North America. Tewa tradition holds that its pools provided access to the underworld. Frank Mauro purchased the springs in 1932, and it remained a family business for three generations. The resort's buildings are on the National Register of Historic Places.[2] The nearby Ojo Caliente Hot Springs Round Barn, built in 1924, is also listed on the National Register.[3]
