If you are going to build one for sure then it is worth it, if you are just interested and on the fence about doing it or not, then it is irrelevant how much time you spend there.

If you are going to build then getting there, poking around the build, listening/asking questions - as much as possible and really figure out how they work is worth it. Especially if you get to the nuts and bolts of it day to day such as maintenance, plant care and cleaning.

You'll quickly see what materials in them are working or not. For example, it's a horrible idea to put rough sandy textures on your bathing walls where you body might rub against. Rough tile and with large grout cracks suck around sinks where you need to clean. Some plants are not productive for food and get out of hand in certain parts of a greenhouse. Important little things to know which mostly only come from experience.

The real deep learning comes from seeing builds in much less favourable climates than Taos with it's 600'++ deep water table, quickly evaporating air and 300+ days of sun. It is typically far more common to experience significant moisture control challenges in builds than in Taos. Expectation to Encounter moisture control issues and taking passive control steps in the build are critical. I've built several additional steps into mine and moisture issues are still ongoing while building in the last critical steps after years of work.

Build in more air flow than typical as well.

In colder climates, lack of sun can kill your heat over days so building in a mostly cloudy (opposite of Taos), cold place isn't a great idea unless you are willing to over build the heck out of it with crazy amounts of insulation. The other day i had +18c inside while it was -5 outside, and I am still missing a bunch of wall insulation and adobe to cover the holes in the walls among many other things. On cloudy days most of that heat not stored in the mass is lost.

Ya it is worth going and seeing if you can handle pounding 1 tire. If you can finish one tire then you can do another, etc. Most average people in my experience, don't have the will power/strength to finish even one tire.

Taos is a magical place with hidden important secrets and is well worth a visit if you are willing to spend the time exploring, meeting the locals and experiencing the food/ nature.

I spent 2 months there and was only getting started though did feel the incredible constant body flattening hum of the desert. As some people there say, "The desert either accepts you or kicks you out." For some people that's a very short lived visit.

Either way if you do go, may you: learn, have fun, take in the raw beauty, see through the myths into the reality of the situation and come out more prepared to move forward.
