Oaxaca de Juárez

"A famous village in Oaxaca known for its rug weavers. Here, you can visit workshops run by Zapotec families to observe the creation of tapestries using looms with sheep's wool and natural dyes made from cochineal, flowers, and fruits."
This village, which is famous for rug-weaving, is 30 kilometers southeast of Oaxaca. You can get there by car or private transport. Upon arrival, you can visit the main plaza with a cathedral, see Zapotec ruins and carvings, and hike up El Picacho Mountain. Also, try to squeeze in time to check out a rug-making workshop to learn more about this traditional art form.
