This is one of the most authentically Indigenous markets near the capitol. During the tour, we visit two more towns. In Santo Bartolo Coyotepec we have the opportunity to observe the ancient Mesoamerican potters traditional methods of creating pots and jars by hand without the use of a potter's wheel.
