Folk Art in La Union Tejalapam

This is a nearby village just north of the valley of Oaxaca in the direction of Etla.
This is one of the 3 most famous villages for Alebrije wood carvings in Oaxaca. While most visitors may find it easier to get to Arrazola or San Martin on the opposite side of the valley, La Union Tejalapam has equally traditional families that supply a lot of the fine wood carved animals on sale in the city's shops.
