Oaxaca Tours Video
Oaxaca Tours Video - With a beautiful colonial core of lovely, tree-shaded streets and highly creative artistic, culinary and craft scenes, Oaxaca is one of Mexicos most captivating cities. Artists and artisans alike are inspired by the areas deep-rooted indigenous traditions and by its bright, clear southern light. Oaxaca has top-class museums, charming inns, fascinating markets, a clutch of good language schools and its own exhilarating version of Mexican cuisine. The easygoing pace frequently breaks out into the fireworks of a fiesta, and theres some brightly colored event unfolding in the streets or the Zócalo (Oaxacas lovely central square) almost every day.
Set at the nexus of three valleys flanked by high mountains, the city is surrounded by fascinating archaeological sites and colorfully traditional villages and small towns with bustling weekly markets. The valley and mountain landscapes provide abundant opportunities for hiking, biking and horseback riding, and good active-tourism operators and successful rural tourism programs make it easy to enjoy these experiences.

Ethnohistorical Archaeology in Mexico 4- Exploring Oaxaca
Some of the places and landscapes explored in the state of Oaxaca, Mexico. Music by Danny Elfman and Michael Brook. For more information about the program, see:

#WeAbsolutelyloveMexico because it is so rich in history, culture, delightful food and wonderful people and we were determined to visit again as soon as possible. Mexico as a whole is a breathtakingly biodiverse country. While there are plenty of options to choose from in Mexico it’s clear that most travelers visiting the country are split between those wanting to lounge on the magnificent beaches and those wanting to explore the cities and colonial towns. We love to enjoy great food and culture the most.
Moving from culture to history, we found Mexico to be the country with numerous world-class archaeological sites like Teotihuacán, Chichén Itzá and the circular pyramids of Guachimontones in Jalisco. The Mayan cities, full of magnificent stone temples and pyramids, were primarily ceremonial centers. Most of the Maya lived in rural areas and were farmers who looked to the priests of the cities for direction on the best days to plant, harvest, and marry. The Maya are famed for their impressive knowledge of mathematics and astronomy, which were integral to their religious rituals. They are also known for the practice of human sacrifice, which was a means of appeasing and nourishing the gods.
We also enjoyed Mexico City museums like the Museo Nacional de Antropología which gave us an in-depth introduction to the history of Mexico, dating from the Mesoamerican period.
The state of Oaxaca in southern Mexico is a treasure trove of beautiful views and outdoor activities. But thanks to its capital and some of its lesser-known villages, it's also an art and food destination. Oaxaca City is a UNESCO World Heritage site and a cultural hub. The city's colonial architecture, colorful buildings and cobblestone streets yield picturesque views that make it unforgettable. We visited Oaxaca’s Textile Museum where a small but impressive collection of rugs, clothing and other textiles showcase the artistry of the craft. Then, we spent an entire day at the beautiful Templo de Santo Domingo, a 16th-century Baroque-style church and former monastery and next door at the Botanic Garden of Oaxaca, where we learned about the region's native plants.
Mexico is a country of delicious food, that is clear, but it’s not all tacos and tortias. In fact, the culinary scene from north to south varies wildly, although each dish remains just as delicious as the last. The traditional music of the country is diverse, excellent and shouldn’t be overlooked.
If there’s one thing everyone will agree on about Mexico, it’s that the locals are warm, welcoming and always willing to help, whether you need directions or advice on what street food stall to eat at. Even if you don’t speak Spanish, you’ll soon realize that Mexicans will go out of their way to give you the information you’re looking for, even when that means escorting you to a tourist desk or ringing their niece for advice on bus routes. So, don’t believe everything Donald Trump tells you about Mexico’s ‘bad hombres’.
Mexican culture is a mishmash of influences, from the Mesoamerican to the indigenous to the Spanish, and that makes the country all the more fascinating. To learn more about the native people living in rural, indigenous communities and speaking in languages other than Spanish, we headed to Oaxaca and the mountains of Jalisco and Chihuahua.
Art Exhibit at the Oaxacan Museum
Folk Artists of Oaxaca Mural by David Ocelotl
This mural is an expression of Oaxaca. In the mural you will find ceramic, textile, woodcarving and metal work. The idea is to show the naturally inspired connection between the artist and the earth. The result of this inspiration is an art form known as the Arte Popular De Oaxaca.
Crafting Tradition: Oaxacan Wood Carvings
Sioux City Art Center curator Todd Behrens talks about Crafting Tradition: Oaxacan Wood Carvings. The exhibit, which features two dozen wood carvings from the Mexican state of Oaxaca, runs through Jan. 21, 2018.
American Art - 5 Mesoamerica: Olmec, Teotihuacan, Veracruz and Zapotec
Fifth video about the American Art serie. Any doubt? Send me a message.
Historia del Arte:
Land of the Art:
The Art in the American continent is divided in three main sides: North America, Mesoamerica and South America. The amerindians emigrated from Asia to America through the Bering strait in the last glaciation.
Mesoamerican cultures developed and reached a high grade of civilization. They were farmers and built cities, pyramid temples and calendars. They are the Olmecs, the people of Teotihuacan, the people of Veracruz, the Zapotecs, Mayans, Toltecs, Mixtecs, Huastecs, Aztecs and the people of Central America and Caribbean.
Origins: first human rests found in lake Tepexpan. Pyramid of Cuicuilco, part of ceremonial center in a city.
Olmec: first culture in Mesoamerica. Probably come from Pacific Ocean. Most important archaeological sites in La Venta, Tres Zapotes and Cerro de las Mesas. Juxtlahuaca caves have paintings in the rocks. Man with a long black cloak and a headdress, covered with jaguar hide. Serpent. Jaguar. Pyramid of La Venta. Jaguar is part of their iconography, represented by the mouth. Jaguar Child. Colossal Heads, probably for ceremonial or commemorative purposes. They used jadeite. Among the selected sculptures there are a Jadeite head, Jaguar mosaic, Offering 4 of La Venta, Lord of Limes, Seated Jaguar, Figure 34, Uxpanapa fighter (2 images), Atlihuayan figure, Tlapacoya figures (2 images), Jaguar crying, Seated man, Stele 1 of El Baúl (with similar style to egyptian reliefs!), Stele 2 of La Venta, Altar 4 and Altar 5 and a Ceremonial axe. About the Altars, they represent a man exiting the mouth of a jaguar, that is, exiting the darkness to the sun.
Teotihuacan: one of the bigger cities. The origins are still unknown. Great ceremonial center. They adored the sun and the moon. Among the most important gods, there are Tlaloc, Quetzalcoatl, Chalchiuhtlicue, Huehueteotl and Tezcatlipoca. Avenue of the Dead, Citadel, Temple of the Feathered Serpent, Pyramid of the Sun, Pyramid of the Moon, Palace of Quetzalpapalotl, paintings of Tetitla, Atetelco, Tepantitla and La Ventilla. The Temple of the Feathered Serpent is very interesting. It has seven bodies and is decorated with sculptures of Quetzalcoatl and Tlaloc. The paintings are in the walls. It is very nice the one of Tetitla, the great goddess, and also the Tlaloc representation in Tepantitla. Among the sculptures there are a Marker for Ballgame, a Tlaloc sculpture with the mouth opened, a Cuauhxicalli (used to carry the hearts in the sacrifices, something the aztecs will use too), the Mask of Malinaltepec (a serpentine mask associated to the cult to the dead, spirit that goes from the mask to the individual), a Figure and a few Ceramics with three legs, or Tripod Ceramics.
Veracruz: here there are various cultures. The classic Veracruz culture develped first, and among them it was the Remojadas culture. Later, in the 1000 CE aproximatelly, in the area of El Tajín, the Totonacs developed their culture. In El Tajín there are 11 ballgame courts. The ballgame was a religious ritual, although it is not sure if the victorious or the losers were the sacrified. It symbolized the victory of Huitzilopochtli over his sister, since she tried to kill their mother, so Huitzilopochtli couldn’t be born and he wouldn’t be the most powerful god. The palmas is something with a not clear meaning, but probably they were votive objects, related with the ballgame. The relief is in the southern ballgame and it represents the sacrifice of a player. Finally, the Totonacs did the Pyramid of the Niches, composed by seven platforms with a decoration composed of 365 niches and geometric details, and a central stair. The Temple of the Columns has reliefs of the conquests of Trece Conejo, a ruler of El Tajín. About the Remojadas culture I added a Ceremonial axe, a Terracotta chief, a Deer (or dog) with wheels, Caritas sonrientes (very curious, with jaguar details in the mouths) and Figures swinging.
Zapotecs: they lived in Monte Albán, Valley of Oaxaca. Defensive. Since year 1000, this place becomes a necropolis. In the Temple of the Dancers there are reliefs of people that seems to be dancing, and some appear with the organs outside the body, so maybe it had a ceremonial function. Sunken Patio. Ballgame court. Observatory. South Platform. In the North Platform there are tombs with very nice items. Cocijo. Urn of tomb 77. Paintings in tomb 104 and 105. Mask of bat god. Golden pectoral of Mictlantecuhtli from tomb 7. In Mitla there are fantastic decorations and in Lambityeco there are more tombs.

“A stark and brutal glimpse of life in a small Mexican town. Original and well written. Atmospheric and authentic. The characters are strong and diverse, from the Mothers and Grandmothers to the Fathers and Grandfathers with their interconnecting lives and struggles to keep their children safe and on a righteous path while there is danger, fear and frustration all around them.

Century of Color: Maya Weaving & Textiles (English)
The highlands of Guatemala radiate brilliantly colored clothing and artisan products. Gustavus Eisen's 1902 collection of photographs and textiles at the Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology, University of California/Berkeley, provides a starting point to examine Maya weaving during the ensuing decades. Interwoven with examples through the century and stunning footage of present day Maya, this documentary shows the effects of cultural change brought about by: the recent 36-year Civil War; introduction of Spanish language in rural schools; proliferation of mass media; increased tourism and artisan organizations; changes in the role of women; pressure from a globalized world economy; and, importation of vast quantities of cheap, new and used clothing. This documentary was produced by the educational nonprofit Endangered Threads Documentaries, and runs 53 minutes.
