Surrounded by rolling hills and agave fields, this area provides a glimpse into local life with its quiet streets, family-run tiendas, and panoramic views of the Sierra Madre. Travelers appreciate the authentic Oaxacan atmosphere, where the scent of wood-fired tlayudas mingles with the cool mountain air. While not a tourist hub, it serves as a peaceful base for exploring nearby villages like Teotitlán del Valle and the ancient ruins of Mitla. The community is close-knit, and visitors can enjoy leisurely walks, birdwatching, and sampling homemade mole from local kitchens.
