Between mountainous landscapes and a clear sky is the Maguey Verde Artisan Parador, a corner where ancestral knowledge is transformed into art.
This space is the result of generations that have captured their heritage in beautiful handicrafts, a living reflection of the knowledge and traditions of the region. It all starts in the old mines of Peñamiller, where the inhabitants extract precious stones with dedication, carefully collecting the most special minerals to give them a new life.
Here they work with materials such as quartz, aventurine, obsidian, geode, turquoise and onyx, to mention a few. It is at this moment that the creativity and experience of the artisans come to life, applying precise techniques until the desired finish is achieved.
On your visit you will find necklaces made with admirable precision, available in different stones – from mystical rose quartz to protective obsidian – as well as bracelets made of thread or stones, all worked by hand. You will also find home decorations, such as good luck trees and onyx figures that fill any space with charm.
According to popular belief, quartz possesses properties such as healing, protection, abundance, and energetic cleansing.
So if you are looking for a souvenir with meaning, do not hesitate to take a piece and connect with the natural energy that the Sierra Gorda de Querétaro has to offer you.
In addition to offering a perfect landscape to admire the nature of Peñamiller and breathe fresh air, this place invites you to capture the moment with some photos, rest from the road and comfort yourself with a delicious hot chocolate.
