Rosewood Mayakoba’s beloved turndown amenity, the alebrije, is more than a keepsake. These small, vividly painted wooden figures are rooted in Oaxacan craft traditions and created by a family of artisans whose work helps preserve the heritage behind each fantastical form.

In this hands-on workshop, guests are invited to paint their own alebrije, learning about the symbolism, color, and imagination that define the craft. Personal, creative, and deeply connected to Mexican artistry, the experience offers a meaningful memento to take home from Mayakoba.
