THE JEWELRY IS NOT WORTH THE HIGH PRICES. I got a couple rings, necklaces and a watch. Something for myself and a few family members. Total ~$300 USD. I went overboard, I know. I just loved that they are “handmade” and just how beautiful they looked. They also somehow get you by offering a “30% discount,” which is insane considering it’s still overly priced even after the discount. I wore one of the rings and the watch immediately, only to find them completely rusting about 3 days later. For something priced so highly I would expect better quality!! For that kind of quality I’d just get something from Amazon. By the time I noticed I was already in a different city with my tour. Otherwise, I would have went back to complain. I got sucked into the tourist trap, unfortunately.
The little tour they do isn’t that great either. I could barely understand the lady who did mine. Overall, it’s a cute place to visit and learn some history but don’t fall into their trap. I read another review that said to wait until you get into town and I agree!! Probably same quality for a way...

Tips: Get your tax-free receipt if you're spending a chunk of change. Try to go on a pre-booked tour through an agency –I got a 20% discount for simply being on the guided tour. I went with Amigos tours booked...
