Traditions Mexico offers tours and workshops focusing on the artisans and folk artists of Oaxaca and neighboring states in southern Mexico. We take you beyond the guidebooks and into the villages and homes of rural Mexico for face-to-face, hands-on experiences with artisans who carry on hereditary Zapotec, Mixtec, Mayan, and other indigenous traditions many thousands of years old. Traditions Mexico offers a delectable menu of rare and unique tour and workshop opportunities focusing on the master skills of artisans and their rich, backcactus world in the little-known, culturally diverse lands of Oaxaca, Chiapas, and Michoacan. Check our tour schedule to learn more about our tours and workshops with potters, weavers, natural dyers, textile artisans, and top-notch tortilla flippers, or contact us at traditionsmexico@yahoo.com to arrange a custom tour for your group.
