Within the experience of Nakú you will be able to know the uses and customs of the Totonaca Culture, our environment in the middle of tropical mountains teaches us to venerate and respect Mother Earth, and everything that entails; interpreting medicinal plants, flora and fauna through our path, together with the wisdom of our grandparents, we disseminate traditional medicine through the Xakga (sweat lodge) and a healing center where we provide tinctures, ointments and syrups made in a natural way.

Likewise, the maize field (milpa) show us our origins, so we have a great commitment to our community, community, we try to consume product from local farmers and hire collaborators from our culture.

In Nakú, we also have a vanilla field, we show vanilla in its natural habitat, in acahuales, and we teach how to fertilize, harvest, benefit, and produce products   derived from this orchid in group workshops and with a great sensory experience!
The importance of our culture has made us delve into the products made by local artisans, pre Columbian dances such as Guaguas and Voladores, as well as traditional food, activities that we proudly display in our place and also through workshops that are imparted here.
