What To Expect

Our exciting tour starts early, when our driver picks you up directly at your hotel's lobby or Airbnb. Our first stop is at San Martin Tilcajete, a town known for its alebrijes. Once you get there, you will feel as if you have crossed a portal to a magical world of alebrijes.
These creatures that are carved out of wood are hand-painted and full of vibrant colors. They are the soul of Oaxacan handcrafts.
After learning about the elaboration process of these fantastic figures and with the help of a master craftsman, you will be able to paint your own alebrije! You will be given a small figure, a paintbrush and paint. It is your moment to decorate your own chosen piece. Immerse yourself in the colors and let your imagination run free.
The tour ends around 2:00 p.m. when we drop you off at your hotel or Airbnb.
We recommend wearing comfortable clothes that you do not mind getting dirty since paint can get splattered on you.
