About
Huaraches.com & Our Mission

Our Story
Huaraches.com is the evolution of the original Changunga.com, the site that started it all by selling authentic Mexican leatherware online, but ended up being known for it's selection of hard-to-find huaraches. Spun off as a seperate site, Changunga.com refocused on being a portal for hipanic information and products. Now, Huaraches.com no longer directly sells sandals, huaraches, and leatherware.

Instead, we have chosen to focus on providing a source of information about Huaraches. We refer visitors to different types of huaraches and provide information and history about the products. We hope you enjoy the site. In the future we will be porting over much of the old Changunga infomation in order to provide an even more thorough resource for people. Bueños Dìas!

What is a Changunga?
A changunga is a small, round berry roughly the size and shape of a cherry. They are usually yellow in color with a sweet taste and texture. They are found in Southern Mexico and throughout Central America.

Although they are better known as Nances, the people of Michoacán, Mexico refer to the sweet fruit as Changungas.

Changunga is also the childhood nickname of one of our founders. We feel that Changunga represents a bright, happy, playful experience.

Huaraches.com was developed from Changunga.com and focuses on all things related to Huaraches. The two sister sites now provide information services for the Hispanic & American market.

Partner Sites
Huaraches.com is closely related to our sister site, Sandal Guide, which is a complete worldwide guide to the exciting footwear around the globe.
