The San Agustin Art Center is located in San Agustin Etla, 30 minutes outside Oaxaca, Mexico.

Housed in an 1883 textile factory (hacienda) it was purchased by artist Francisco Toledo and converted in 2006 to the first Latin American center for Ecological Arts.

The center currently features exposition spaces, areas dedicated to art courses and performance.

The former hacienda hydro electric power plant is now hosting the Arte Papel, where Toledo started his hand made paper workshop.

There are a few places in the world where I could move to…

Hi everyone,

welcome to Top Travel Spot.

I grew up in Italy and moved to New York many years ago. I spend my life working as a music producer, as a geek and traveling, as much as I can and as often as I can.

I’ve been collecting travel images and experiences for the past ten years (before then I just didn’t think about shooting photos!). I decided to start using this site as a repository, it helps me to remember what I saw, ate, lived and experienced while traveling. You will soon realize there’s a pattern, an imaginary thread connecting most of the locations visited and my choices made while traveling. You won’t find much partying, techno raves on the beaches, noisy locations, crowded places. I live in New York and when I travel I tend to seek tranquillity, unspoiled beaches and natural beauty. There will be posts about major world cities, but even then I will make an effort remembering where I found little quiet spots to unwind after a busy day spend walking around.

I hope that you will find this site useful, if you have any questions, comments, please do not hesitate to use the comments area and the Contact page.

Thank you!

Federico Chieli
