Itinerary
1
Santa Cruz La Laguna
The women of the local team welcome us at the main pier and we walk around Santa Cruz, from the shore to the community, to learn about the customs, lifestyle and routines of the local people.
We will know the main road from the pier to the local house where the workshop will be held. Depending on the house we will know one area or another. It is possible to go up in a tuktuk if the traveler prefers.
15 minutes

Santa Cruz La Laguna
The main venue will be a local house, depending on the shifts of the women on the team. The following activities will take place there:
TRADITIONAL CUISINE: We cook together tourists and women in a wood-fired kitchen in a home, to learn how to cook typical recipes, such as tamale, tamalitos, tortillas or puliki. Then we enjoyed eating what we made together.
CRAFT WORKSHOPS: Introduction to fabric making and/or handmade jewelry. We learn to lay the initial thread for sewing, create our first piece of jewelry and dress in traditional Santa Cruz dress.
TEMAZCAL EXPERIENCE: We disconnect and live the local experience of temazcal use, a low adobe house where steam baths are taken.
