Santa Ana del Valle

Santa Ana del Valle  is a small community at the eastern end of Oaxaca's Central Valley, 21 miles (34 km.) east of Oaxaca City. Our informants in 1991 were the Presidente del Comité, Presidente Martiniano Hoton García-Martinez, and the Topil, Sr. Arcadio Aquino Cruz. Our tour begins with a Soledad.
