About Tour Guide Miroslava L.

My name is Miroslava. I'm a native of Xochimilco and a proud winner of the most

meaningful beauty contest in CDMX 'La flor más bella del ejido' 2006. Because of this, I

became a cultural ambassador and guardian of my culture and community. I learned

embroidery from my grandma when I was 12 years old, and later on, I continued learning

from handcrafter friends from different communities around Mexico. I've been teaching and

holding workshops on embroidery since 2010. In 2012, I launched a brand/workshop called

"TRAMA", which now, after 13 years of experience and building a community of

handcrafters, offers not only artisanal products and workshops but also unique experiences

to visit and live Xochimilco's culture and nature.
