Tlaquepaque Mexican Arts & Crafts Village Tour | Sedona, Arizona

"Your unforgettable Sedona experience must include spending time at internationally renowned Tlaquepaque (pronounced T-la-keh-pah-keh), Sedona Arizona's Arts & Crafts Village, one of the best things to do in Sedona.
Nestled beneath the shade of the sycamores on the banks of beautiful Oak Creek in Sedona, Tlaquepaque is the most distinctive Sedona shopping experience to be found in the Southwest.
Authentically fashioned after a traditional Mexican village, Tlaquepaque, meaning the "best of everything," has been a Sedona landmark since the 1970s. Its "vine-covered" stucco walls, cobble-stoned walkways, and magnificent arched entryways give you the feeling that Tlaquepaque has been here for centuries.
Tasteful galleries and unique shops live in harmony with its lush natural environment where giant sycamore trees stand in testimony to the care taken in preserving the timeless beauty of the Tlaquepaque grounds. It would be hard to find more beautiful surroundings anywhere to create a shopping experience like no other.
Originally conceived as an artist community, Tlaquepaque is a perfect setting to witness gifted Sedona artisans absorbed in their work. It's not uncommon to venture upon a well-known sculptor working on his or her latest piece right in one of the Tlaquepaque galleries. With over 50 specialty shops and exclusive art galleries, shopping becomes a joyful revelation of fabulous art treasures and distinctive gifts around every corner.
Tlaquepaque is filled with spectacular "one-of-a-kind" art expressions in every medium from Western and eclectic bronze sculpture, functional and traditional ceramics, breathtaking blown glass creations, contemporary and Southwestern fine art paintings, weavings, decorative arts, architectural décor pieces, and stunning large format photography. Fine contemporary jewelry, designer casual wear in silks, and leathers, and unusual gift items all await the Tlaquepaque visitor."

I couldn’t believe this was in Sedona, I just had to stop and check it out! I’m considering visiting Mexico next year now to do a hiking series. That would be awesome if we could meetup and film a few travel videos around Mexico!

@@solidman107 My parents used to go to Mexico many times, but I wasn’t born yet. I have always wanted to visit, it’s a beautiful country and culture. I would love to visit Cascada de Basaseachi National Park it looks phenomenal! I hope all is well Gerardo.
