Journey Through Time with Zapotec Women

Discover the captivating history and rich culture of a town with a journey through time! Join our exclusive tour and be welcomed by our charming hostesses, the talented Zapotec women and artisans. They will open the doors of their homes and share the inspiring stories of their families, as well as the exciting projects that sustain their community's cultural legacy.

Get ready to indulge in the delicious aroma of chocolate-making with our traditional cook. Be amazed by the incredible story of a group of women who founded a cooperative of weavers in the 90s. They not only strengthened a trade, but also created a space for learning and support among the women of the community. Join them as they demonstrate how they create beautiful wool rugs and natural dyes that have been passed down from generations.

To top it all off, we will visit a family that specializes in making traditional candles. These candles represent a symbol within the community's long-standing traditions. You'll leave this tour with a wealth of knowledge, beautiful memories, and a deep appreciation for the cultural richness of this incredible town.
