Worth every penny for authenticity. At first I thought It was costly but after the experience, all the steps and all the effort they put into it, I feel so great to have helped a local community who still does old-school weaving.,.
May your craft continue on for generations, Josefina! Big thanks to you and your family.

What a beautiful, kind, and talented family. They were so warm and welcoming. Their loom and candle making work are beautiful. They took the time to explain every step of the process to get the wool dyed and ready for weaving. I highly recommend this tour. And, their work make great gifts for yourself and family/friends.

Fue una gran experiencia! Josephina y su familia nos reciben en su casa y taller. nos mostraron que la tradición familiar de tejer continúa y también pudimos ver cómo se hacen las velas. Muchas Gracias por un tiempo increíble

What a beautiful experience indeed! Josefina and her family were so kind and made us feel at home immediately. Learning the trade of weaving step by step as her family have done so for generations, enlightened my appreciation for the art of weaving! So much love from every member of the family truly embraces how much they care about this tradition . I loved how every moment was a “hands-on experience” and they gave us confidence to experience just a little bit of what they do daily and gave done for years and years. Every time I wear my beautiful shawl I will think of this amazing family, how they opened their doors to all of us, and made us feel special and at home! Nos encantô cada momento. Una experiencia inolvidable la cual siempre se les agradeceremos por todo lo que convivimos con ustedes. Los llevaré en mi corazón!!! Gracias por el mole y el chocolatito!!! Bendiciones siempre!
