The Juchitán de Zaragoza Market is one of the most authentic in all of Mexico. Here, vendors converge with their products from all over the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, from its bustling coast to its lush jungles. Traditional drinks and foods are made by the Zapotec women of the region. Artisans masterfully make the clothing that will accompany the Isthmus residents at their candlelight vigils or parties. Juchitán de Zaragoza has been a strategic point since before the arrival of the Spanish, since its geopolitical location places it as a communications center and a passageway between the north and south of the continent, since the Isthmus of Tehuantepec is the narrowest part between the Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico in North America. / jorgeeduardodeleon Join this channel to access its benefits: / @jorgedeleonmx
