Gran experiencia, el Taller de Huella Carmín tiene una magia única gracias a toda la familia.

Rey David es muy amable. Te enseña muy bien el proceso de teñido. Es una experiencia muy interactiva. En el lugar puedes comprar artesanías, chocolates y mezcal artesanal. Muy lindo el lugar.

Fui al Taller Huella Carmín con mi mama. He estado en México cerca de un año, y esta experiencia fue una de los mejores que he tenido. Esta familia cuida mucho sobre el medio ambiente, su arte y sus raíces, y todo está plasmado en sus obras. Pasaron horas mostrando y explicandonos sobre el proceso. Mi mama y yo estamos enamoradas con esta familia y esta experiencia. Gracias, gracias, gracias!

Rey es un artista increíble! Y su experiencia es la mejor. La explicación, el lugar, lo que hace para rescatar el arte. El mejor lugar de Teotitlán.

Tanto el taller como el alojamiento de la familia Huella Carmín son excelentes, Rey David y su esposa Patricia nos trataron increíble. La experiencia de ver y practicar todo el proceso de fabricación de los tapetes nos encantó, y la explicación tenía todo el detalle y cariño. La habitación es un lujo, amplia, bonita y llena de detalles. Los tejidos son preciosos, tanto nos gustaron que nos llevamos 5 para España!

Un lugar donde te sientes en casa. El trato es muy humano, aprendes a realizar platillos culinarios de origen zapoteco. David y su familia de igual manera te enseñan todo el proceso de tejido de lana. Lo recomiendo ampliamente. ?

In October 2021 Didi and I spent two weeks in Rey David's cute little apartment he's built above their compound. They're a family of five Zapotec- and Spanish-speaking residents of Teotitlan. They're wonderful. They're charming. They love visitors. If you speak Spanish you will fall in love with them. Jacobo and Mireya, and their grown very young adults Rey David, Julitsa, and Eric. Patricia has joined the family by marrying Rey. They're inspiring to watch, in their interactions with each other. They're weavers. You'll see five big old Spanish wooden looms. They weave their own gorgeous woolen products plus they run a network of other weavers in the town. You won't be able to resist spending some dough on their products--mainly rugs and tapestries. We spent 1200 bucks. Twenty-four-year-old Rey David is the most entrepreneurial of the five and runs the Airbnb operation. The town of Teotitlan is an Indian village, really, of 6,000 or so. It was founded by an advance party of Aztec warriors just before the Spaniards invaded Mexico. I speak perfect Spanish so I learned that Teotitlan is run on the traditional "usos y costumbres" system. Assemblies of up to 800 people decide who the mayor and other officials will be. All officials can be recalled by acclamation in an assembly. There is no crime in the village. Doors are unlocked. There are no destitute people to be seen. They have committees that do all the work including garbage collection and policing. The police are unarmed and all volunteers. All are unpaid volunteers including the mayor. Like all Mexican towns however, many of the men have spent years working in the U.S., mainly in Southern California. This family though has not sent anybody to work abroad. The apartment we stayed in and another extra one they have and the whole compound have a beautiful view of the valley. The sunsets are lovely.And you can hike up the Picacho mountain peak, which we did, not an easy hike, but you'll have a wonderful view of the town and the forests and the valley way way down below.
