Oaxaca
Offering mouth-watering food, the best mezcal in the world, and tons of history, it’s no surprise people fall in love with Oaxaca. It’s a city of colorful buildings, scenic rooftop restaurants and bars, street art, historic Spanish colonial churches, cobblestone streets, picturesque parks, and so much more. Located in southwestern Mexico, Oaxaca has been inhabited for thousands of years by indigenous Zapotec and Mixtec peoples before the Spanish arrived.
During your week here, you’ll explore markets, eat amazing food, learn from local experts, and tour nearby mezcal farms where you’ll meet producers of some of the best mezcal in the world. Using our local connections, you’ll get experiences not available with other companies as we created a customized itinerary with our local friends and partners.
This tour focuses heavily on the city’s culture, history, and cuisine. If you’re the kind of person who wants a more authentic and nuanced experience, this tour is for you.
