2. After a delicious breakfast, the tour continues to Santiago Tianguistenco in the town of Gualupita, recognized nationally and internationally as the Land of the Sarape. At this destination, you shouldn't miss admiring the work of textile artisans who make garments such as hats, sarapes, sweaters, gabanes, and more.

Tradition dictates that before entering the Sanctuary you must dance as a sign of command or ritual.
