As part of the Geopark’s revalidation mission, UNESCO evaluators visited Mineral del Chico to learn firsthand about the projects and actions that strengthen the sustainable development of our territory.
The day began at La Casa del Artesano, a Proud Partner of the Geopark, where UNESCO specialists Dr. César Goso and Dr. Carlos Merizalde learned about this community initiative and the work done by our artisans and Geopark Guardians.
Represented by Saúl Zenteno Osorio, the artisans shared how La Casa del Artesano came to be and how a space was built to harmoniously integrate local producers. They also presented the variety of geoproducts they craft, from handiwork to edible items, reflecting the creativity, knowledge, and cultural richness of Mineral del Chico.
The meeting was also attended by Dr. Juan Carlos Mora Chaparro, Scientific Lead of the Geopark, and M.Sc. María del Carmen Oviedo Parra, General Manager of the Geopark.
La Casa del Artesano highlights the talent of our geoproducers and communities, reaffirming the importance of preserving the knowledge, traditions, and cultural expressions that shape our territory’s identity.
If you visit Mineral del Chico, take the opportunity to discover and purchase local products, knowing that your purchase directly supports an artisan and strengthens our community’s economy.
