A fun look into culture and a fun activity!
Xiomara was amazing! She was super patient with us and extremely knowledgeable. We will be back again!
Xiomar and Angel took good care of us during the activity and we had a generous amount of time to complete our own alebrije
Xio is wonderful. We have done this experience twice and will do again if given the opportunity!
Dianelly and Eliu provided me with a great time! I learned a lot and had so much fun painting my alebrije! Plenty of time to paint and the tacos you could buy onsite were great!
Super fun definitely recommend for people who likes dot art.
The albrije were amazing to see and learn about. It was fun painting and learning about this tradition. Our guide Xiomara was fun and answered all our questions. Highly recommend this tour!
Really, really fun experience! Xiomara and Cesar were excellent, we had a great time.
Absolutely incredible tour!
I came here with my family as we wanted to do something different to just going to the beach. We had a wonderful experience. It’s a fun, relaxing and educational trip. We all got to pick the item we wanted to paint and the colors we wanted to use. It’s a no pressure and fun experience. You don’t have to be a good painter and you get to keep your painted creation at the end of the visit. I would highly recommend this workshop
Thank you so much for your lovely review! 🎨✨ We’re so happy you chose to try something different with your family — and even happier to hear you had a wonderful experience. Creating a fun, relaxed, and educational environment is exactly what we aim for. We love that everyone got to choose their own piece and colors — that personal touch makes each alebrije truly one of a kind. And you’re absolutely right: no painting experience is needed! It’s all about creativity, expression, and enjoying the moment together. 🖌️🌈 The best part is taking home your own hand-painted creation as a special memory of your time here. Thank you for the recommendation — we’d love to welcome you and your family back anytime for another creative experience! 🇲🇽✨
