San Antonio Arrazola is a small town in Oaxaca's Central Valleys. Located at the foothills of Monte Albán, the town is a popular place to visit for those seeking local folkart, the wooden figures or alebrijes. It´s a small quiet town and everything is within walking distance.

Woodcarving was introduced in the 1950s and within a few decades reached global acclaim. It is with great pride that the city refers to itself as the //cuna de alebrijes// (cradle of fantastic wooden figures).
