The local handicrafts of Mazunte are pieces of jewelry such as bracelets, bangles, arts and necklaces made with sea shells.

The talented artisans of Oaxaca make beautiful pieces of carved wood and in Mazunte you will find nice works.

There is an Alternative Craft Market where you can find these and other craft pieces from nearby regions. This market is available on Wednesdays and Sundays and also offers fresh organic products from the area.

It is located next to the main street of El Mazunte and is the ideal place to enjoy aguas frescas (light non-alcoholic beverages made from one or more fruits), chocolate or a regional dish.

In the market there is almost always music and workshops are offered where you can learn some tricks of the intricate Oaxacan embroidery.

Because Mazunte combines the ancestral knowledge of plants and the typical mysticism of Oaxaca, a cooperative was created that manufactures beauty and personal care products with organic raw materials.

Here, you will find products such as sunscreens, soaps, shampoos, cosmetics, moisturizers, reductive gels, amongst other cosmetics. You will be surprised to see the variety and effectiveness of their products.
