A new way to experience Oaxaca
Hi, we’re Katrin & Cesar, a German Mexican couple living in Oaxaca City!
By chance, we met Armando, a well known Alebrijes artisan and his beautiful family in their workshop in Arrazola, around 14 km away from Oaxaca City.
We decided to work together to bring more guests to hidden Arrazola, the village where wooden alebrijes were born.
The way the artisans are expressing their emotions and connection to nature through the alebrijes work is simply amazing. It’s time to show these skills to a wider audience!
Join our tour to Arrazola and get to know Armando and his family! Learn everything about the creation process: from carving the wood, making natural colors to out of local fruits, insects and minerals to painting the figures in the traditional design with acrylic paint. If needed, we can translate into English and German.
The fun part is the last part! You will choose a small plain wooden animal figure to paint yourself which could take up to 2 hours. Brushes and colors will be provided. This will be a lovely souvenir to take home and remember this experience!
