About Teposcolula
San Pedro y San Pablo Teposcolula is a quiet town in the heart of Oaxaca's Mixteca region, known in Mixtec as Yucundaa. Visitors come for its 16th-century Dominican convent and large open chapel, and for the hilltop ruins of the Mixtec city that came before the town. It is a good stop for travelers interested in how the Mixtec and Spanish worlds met.
