About the event

Tour Description: Oaxaca and its surrounding villages is filled with talented and creative artists. Our plan is to visit two internationally known artists, Cruz Alejandro Dominguez and Roman Andrade Llaguno.

Maestro Cruz Alejandro has exhibited in Europe and the United States as well as in Mexico. At Taller Cruz Alejandro, he supports young artists to discover their potential, not only on canvas, but also working with wood, metal, engraving, extensile and many other techniques and materials Maestro Andrade has also exhibited widely around the world. He makes everyday objects extraordinary, and often has his subjects in flight.

Roman works with children, sharing his art and techniques with them. We will have a chance to meet them, hear about their influences and processes, and admire some of their extraordinary work when we visit their studios.

We will then have the rare opportunity of going to the Orquidario La Encantada of Octavio Suarez, a biologists who has devoted his life to raising orchids at his facility in San Andreas Huayapam. It is his passion, and clearly the winding pathways reflect this labor of love. The Orchidario has 85% of the orchids that grow in the state of Oaxaca in its inventory, about 1200 species, and also many may bromeliads and other native plants, as well as a babbling brook. After an introductory talk with Maestro Suarez, you will be free to wander.

Additional costs: $150 pesos admission fee at the Orquidario.
