Día 1
Former Dominican Convents
- Pick up in hotel
- Our first stop is in Santo Domingo Yanhuitlan, which highlights its majestic 16th-century Dominican Temple, considered a national heritage, has a height of 25 meters, a width of 15 and a length of 75 meters. The whole set is baroque and sobriety is evident in each space.
- Next stop is San Pedro and San Pablo Teposcolula, the complex consists of the open chapel, the temple and the convent house or cloister. The open chapel, also called Indian Chapel, is Teposcolula's greatest pride. It was occupied, during the first centuries, for the evangelization of the Mixtecs, who in great multitude occupied the atrium.
- Finally, we will visit San Juan Bautista Coixtlahuaca, located in the eastern Alta Mixteca, exceeds 2,000 m altitude. The church in its exterior, shows smooth walls that allow to see the perfectly cut and joined ashlar stone. The petril does not have battlements. Its decoration is around the openings, both at the north and the main gate. Both decorations have slight variations from one to another.
