Yoloxochitlan is an area high up in Oaxaca’s La Cañada region. The name translates from the Zapoteca phrase ‘flower of the heart’, homage to how unlike this area is to any other in Mexico. The mountains are difficult to navigate. This has been a place that attracts and preserves ways of living that elsewhere have been lost to time. Today the people who live in this community are mostly Mazatec, a people who pre-date the Aztec empire.
