With more than 50% of the homes damaged by the September 7th earthquake, the city of Juchitán and other communities on the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, the long peninsula in southeast Oaxaca are facing a long road to recovery. However, debris is being removed and reconstruction is underway, so the new focus is on economic rebuilding.

Visitors can help with the recovery by purchasing the region’s beautifully embroidered and woven huipils (blouses), created by the region’s skilled local artisans. Shop the market in Juchitán (now operating in a public park) and learn about the indigenous textile traditions of the Mixtec weavers of the Oaxaca Coast on a special in-depth journey with Tia Stephanie
