Trip Itinerary
Day 1-2
Oaxaca
Day 1-2
As the culinary capital of Mexico, Oaxaca will serve as our base for the trip. This vibrant city is the home of bright and bold-colored colonial architecture, incredibly rich history, artisan galleries, friendly locals, smoky mezcal, and the world's best street food. This still very authentic destination will enchant you with its people, crafts, culture, food and colors.
Day 2-3
Monte Albán
Day 2-3
Monte Albán are the ruins of the ancient Zapotec capital, making them one of the most important archeological sites in Latin America. Emerging yourself in this magnificent ancient city will leave you amazed. And since we are going during the low season we will avoid the lines and crowds.
Day 3-4
Hierve el Agua
Day 3-4
Hierve el agua might look like a waterfall but there is no water running down. This is one of only two calcified waterfalls in the world, this and the iconic views of the roaring Sierra is why this place is one of my favorites in Mexico. This magical and unique place is super worth visiting and it is only a few minutes away from Oaxaca City.
Day 4-5
Mercado 20 de Noviembre
Day 4-5
This is just one of the many markets that you can visit in Oaxaca. It is located in the center of town, in this food market we will be able to find all the typical food, from tlayudas, enfrijoladas, mole and entomatadas, everything made with the best and most authentic ingredients.
Day 5
Mercado De Artesanias De Barro Negro
Day 5
I love this market! It intends to celebrate the craftsmanship and tradition of Oaxacan Culture. There we can find handmade traditional crafts, colorful alebrijes, clothing and beautifully made textiles, and many more surprises.
Day 5-6
Mezcales de Oaxaca
Day 5-6
Mezcal in our culture is believed to be a mystical, magical and rich brewage. The legend around mezcal is that one day there was a strike that hit the ground and from there the fist agave was born, but as any miracle, it needed the hands of humans to take out the most extraordinary flavor. I would suggest taking a tour to one of the local destilerias to have a close taste of this delicious ancient brewage.
Day 6
Mitla
Day 6
Located only 45 minutes away from Oaxaca City, it is one of the best preserved archeological ruins in Mexico, it is amazing how you can see in detail carved stone buildings that are left in near-perfect conditions. This is for me a very inspiring area to explore and to connect to ancient cultures.
Day 6-7
Museum of Cultures of Oaxaca, Santo Domingo
Day 6-7
This museum is housed in a beautiful Monastery adjacent to Santo Domingo's Temple. It is one of our best regional museums in the country. It aims to celebrate Oaxacan culture from pre-Hispanic times to modern day Oaxaca.
