We'll meet with our artisan, who will teach us the process of making the famous local cutlery. They'll teach us everything from forging to applying leather or wood coverings.

In the center, an artisan will be waiting to explain the process of making a backstrap loom. Our last class is in San Bartolo Coyotepec, where we can observe the making of black clay. At the end, we'll return to our hotel for a rest. Overnight stay.

We'll continue our journey to Atzompa, a small town where two types of clay are made: red clay and green clay. We'll learn the difference between red and green clay and how to treat it. Afterward, we'll return to our hotel to rest. Overnight stay.

Next, we'll visit the town of Mitla, the archaeological site better known as the City of the Dead, as well as its town, which blends religious conquest with Aztec traditions, and the handicraft market.
