Galeria Indigena Art Gallery

One of the largest and oldest ethnic art galleries in Puerto Vallarta, located in the Historic Center of Puerto Vallarta

Indigena invites you to explore and admire a fascinating collection of more than 5,000 handmade objects from around Mexico
on two display levels.

One block up from the Malecon boardwalk
Indigena (facebook) is one of largest galleries in Vallarta with several thousand pieces exhibited.

PV art store with an extensive collection from various indigenous cultures of Mexico: dance and ceremonial masks,
unique Day of the Dead items in ceramic and paper mache, sacred Huichol Indian bead and yarn work,
handcrafted Oaxacan black clay pottery by Zapotec indians,

hand blown glass, Nahua Indian lacquer art from Guerrero state, religious arts and figures, majolica pottery from Tlaxcala
and talavera ceramic pieces from Puebla with some 800 designs, finely designed and made Mata Ortiz pottery,
as well as extraordinary bark paper etchings by internationally-known Nahua artist Nicolas de Jesus.

The Indigena gallery is one of my personal favorites for gifts for my family and friends.

A walk through this gallery is a unique opportunity to admire and acquire some of the quality works
made by the expert hands of Indigenous Artists of the more than 52 Ethnic Groups of Mexico.
Come and admire the black clay of the "Dona Rosa" workshop recognized worldwide for its intricate trimming with reeds,

or the famous Alebrijes and wool rugs of the Zapotecas of Oaxaca.

The Indigena gallery is characterized for its service and kind attention, receiving all visitors with a warm welcome.
Service with owner Nacho and his brother, who are happy to give advice and detailed info on any of the work and pieces exhibited.

"Angels have accompanied our lives as symbols of love, kindness, protection,
mercy and especially as messenger between the Earth and the universe.
This is a clever and artistic way to imagine and create the angel
to look after you and your space." - Victoria Macedo
