Our day will begin with delicious coffee to give us energy for the adventure that awaits! Then we will jump in the van and drive to the area of Xoxocotlan, where the Salgados family will welcome us to their silver jewelry workshop. For over three generations, the Salgados have elevated Oaxacan jewelry design to a national level. From Xoxo we will head further down the road to San Martin Tilcajete, where we will visit the only workshop in Oaxaca where women are in charge of crafting Alebrijes. They explain and demonstrate the process, enlightening us on what it means to be a woman in a predominately male-run creative field. In the same town, we will stop at “Almuu,” a traditional comedor set in a garden surrounded by plants. Sample a family style lunch. Our last stop of the day is just a few minutes away in the town of Ocotlan, where a maestro sombrerero awaits us. Here we will learn the craft of hat making and you’ll have the opportunity to find a sombrero that is just for you.
