The state of Tlaxcala is a small melting pot of different human expressions. Cultural and artistic manifestations are presented to us within the highest standards of pre-Hispanic aesthetics, but originally had different priorities What we now call preHispanic art was one of the purest religions in the world in its time.
Approaching Tlaxcala is to initiate a discovery not only of its pre-Hispanic history but also of its participation in the fall of the Great Tenochtitlan, its revolutionary and independentist history, its semi-desert landscapes, its popular art and beliefs that reveal old traditions strongly rooted in Mexican culture.
In times of globalization and modernity, Tlaxcala remains rooted in the rhythm of agricultural cycles despite its predominant ecosystem of xenophile scrub. The cultivation of maguey and corn gives meaning and identity to the post-revolutionary communities, heirs to the Olmec-Xicalanca preHispanic tradition, based in the Tlaxcala Valley. To explore Tlaxcala is to go back to the era of the pulque haciendas, imagining and reliving everyday life in revolutionary times and rescuing the traditions of yesteryear still in force today.
By horse and carriage, as in the days of old, Tlaxcala will bring us closer to the time of the Mexican Revolution, a period of fundamental social changes in the historical evolution of our country.
