My name is Rick Vigil currently from Antonito, Co proprietor and film producer of Down To Earth Media, LLC. In the past 20 years I have produced a collection of documentaries on the Culture, Tradition and Spirituality of the Spanish speaking communities within the counties of Conejos and Costilla in the San Luis Valley. 

The picturesque San Luis Valley is located in the heart of Southern Colorado. The resident in the San Luis Valley are decedents of the Spanish conquistadores whose families have lived here for hundreds of years. Our community’s rich cultural traditions have been passed on from generation to generation.

Our Lady of Guadalupe is the oldest Catholic Church located in the county of Conejos Co. The church was added to the National and State Register of Historic places on December 17, 2018, and continues to be a cultural center to promote faith and educate its communities on the culture of the Hispano settlers of Southern Colorado-Northern New Mexico.
