Overview

Adéntrate en una Oaxaca de mercados tradicionales, telares y seres fantásticos. Recorre puestos llenos de colores, aromas y productos locales, y conoce a los artesanos que mantienen vivas las tradiciones de sus comunidades.

En San Martín Tilcajete, descubre los tonales y alebrijes tallados y pintados a mano; en Santo Tomás Jalieza, observa cómo los hilos se transforman en textiles con el telar de cintura; y en San Bartolo Coyotepec, conoce el proceso que da vida al emblemático barro negro.

Conversa con sus creadores, descubre la historia detrás de cada pieza y aprovecha para comprar directamente en sus talleres. Una experiencia para quienes disfrutan conocer un destino a través de su gente, su arte y su vida cotidiana.
