Completion of the Casa de la Tierra in Santo Domingo Tonaltepec.

Located in Santo Domingo Tonaltepec, the Casa de la Tierra is a project led by the Comisariado de Bienes Comunales. The former offices of the Comisariado de Bienes Comunales and the Town Hall, which had been abandoned for more than three decades, were restored. The building is made of stone in a traditional Mexican style.

 

The objective of this cultural center is to provide the community with a space for the exhibition of local handicrafts, as well as to offer general information about the natural and cultural heritage of Santo Domingo Tonaltepec. It is also a space to receive visitors and to hold meetings and events.

 

Amigos del Geoparque Mixteca Alta A.C. has obtained funding to help finalize this project so that the Casa de la Tierra will be fully functional. There are still a few missing items, such as installing interior and exterior finishes and obtaining furniture, exhibition materials, computer equipment and a satellite internet connection.
