Arte Papel - San Agustin, Etla.

This is the paper factory run by Maestro Francisco Toledo, in the town of San Agustin, Etla, a great place in the highlands of the Etla valley, perched on a lush green hillside.

The Maestro adapted old water-pipes and a power plant to make this paper workshop, where we turn tree bark, plant fiber, natural colored cotton and other natural dyes into first class paper products.

Visitors can walk through the paper-making area as well as the book-binding section to learn and appreciate the craftwork that goes into making these fine products.

There is a small gallery where artist friends of the Maestro give exhibitions of paper work for all to see.

Free Entrance
Open daily from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m.
