Vivalatina Jewelry Making Workshop in Puerto Vallarta

This workshop takes place at Vivalatina’s artisan workshop in Puerto Vallarta and is built around jewelry making. It lasts two hours, and a skilled jeweler guides you through the process of turning raw silver into finished pieces.

During the session you see live demonstrations of silver smelting, casting and polishing. Along the way you also learn about the traditional techniques used to craft Mexican and Aztec jewelry, so the workshop combines the practical side of the craft with some background on the traditions behind it.

At the end of the workshop you can explore the Vivalatina boutique, which features exclusive designs that reflect the heritage of the craft. This is a chance to see what a finished piece looks like next to the process you have just watched, though the listing does not say whether you take home something you have made yourself, so ask the workshop before you book.

The workshop is described as intimate, limited to 8 participants, and it is aimed at people who are passionate about creativity and artisanal skills. It works well for couples, friends or solo travelers who want a hands-on cultural activity that is different from the beach and the boat.

Drinks are included. The listing lists no exclusions and does not state a meeting point or address, so confirm the location with the workshop when you book.

The activity is suitable for all physical fitness levels, though it is not recommended for travelers with poor cardiovascular health. Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. Public transportation options are available nearby.
