Products on sale include typical, but traditional handicrafts and artwork including basketry, carved wooden and stone pieces, textiles, ceramics, silverware, paintings, decorations and many other beautiful items.

The Ruraq Maki, hecho a mano fair allows local folk artists and craftsmen to preserve and promote their cultural heritage and traditional art and bring their original, handmade works to a larger audience while at the same time generate some much-needed income.
