For centuries, the inhabitants of this town have kept the tradition alive by making wool rugs on domestic looms, using natural dyes.

Their designs range from frets, glyphs, and codices to pictorial reproductions of Tamayo, Frida Kahlo, Miró, Matisse, Toledo, and Picasso.

There are over 100 workshops in the town where you can observe the production of rugs, sarapes, ponchos, covers, bags, and dresses. We also recommend visiting the homes of the artisans who are always willing to share their secrets regarding dyes and designs.

Another interesting place to visit is the community museum, which exhibits various pre-Hispanic objects as well as pieces related to rug making.

In the central part of the town, there is a church dedicated to the Precious Blood of Christ, whose construction began in 1581 and was completed in 1758. Its walls are adorned with large idols engraved in stones, as the Spaniards used stones from ancient pre-Hispanic temples for its construction. Next to the church, there is a small archaeological site.

In the surrounding areas, you can visit "El Picacho," a sacred hill that offers a spectacular view of the Tlacolula Valley, and the Piedra Azul Dam, a favorite spot for birdwatchers.
