Shop for Handicrafts by the Indigenous Peoples

In addition to traditional herbs prepared by Tenek and Huasteco doctors, you can pick up clothing such as a quisquem or cayem, a type of shawl also known as a quechquemitl in the Náhuatl language. It is a kind of white cotton cape adorned with cross-stitched geometric designs in the shape of flowers and birds. There are also talegas, a bag worn over the shoulder; embroidered cotton huiclab sashes; and petobes, or crowns—headpieces made of brightly-colored yarn.
