Description
The neighborhood of Xochimilco is an old place, beautiful and full of history and culture. I have been fortunate to be born and raised in this iconic neighborhood, and I would love to share with you its unique spirit. This tour focuses on visiting and getting to know the various workshops and houses of the artisans of the neighborhood, which will allow you to understand the culture of the trades of Oaxaca from the perspective of those who create art and keep alive the traditions of Xochimilco. Walk through the streets of my neighborhood to see the beauty of its architecture, its colorful houses, its bohemian spaces and its tradition of murals that adorn the walls. The philosophy of my tour is that you experience the soul of the neighborhood of Xochimilco through its traditional crafts and my narrative about the historical and cultural changes that have transformed this place over time.
