Colonial monuments in the Mixteca

Discover the three reasons to travel to the colonial monuments of the Mixteca.

Through the beautiful villages, between the majestic mountains and the small valleys, the ancestral Mixtec skill for ornaments turned on the constructive need of the Dominicans, the main evangelizers of the region. Let yourself be carried away to the solemn meeting of Yanhuitlán with its gigantic figure that seems to form a solid and perennial block, inside it houses the important pictorial work of Andrés de Concha; to the smooth frets and ribs, and to the vegetal reminiscence of the altarpiece of the Teposcolula convent, or to that almost perfect mixture of Baroque and Churrigueresque and Renaissance from Coixtlahuaca.
