San Bartolo Coyotepec

San Bartolo Coyotepec Review

Three of the most interesting villages in the Valles Centrales lie south of Oaxaca City on Carretera 175. They share a market day on Friday, so it's easy to visit all three. The first you'll reach is San Bartolo Coyotepec, bisected by the highway about 12 km (8 mi) from the city. The name Coyotepec, a Nahuatl word, literally translates as "place of the coyotes." Across from the stately church is a colonnaded square where you can buy the fragile, unglazed black ceramics for which the town is deservedly famous.
