    The Experience

    Connect with the rich spiritual tradition of Zapotec art at a private interactive painting workshop at a San Martín Tilcajete studio. You'll begin by embarking on a guided tour of the workshop, which specializes in the creation of high-end tonas (animal protectors) and nahuals (spirit companions). Then, in a tranquil natural setting, take part in an intimate painting session and make your own work of art based on a personalized sketch corresponding to your date of birth and prepared before your arrival. Exclusively for Mastercard cardholders.
