What you can expect

Live a full day discovering the culture, history, and colours of Oaxaca. Start your journey at Monte Albán, the ancient Zapotec capital set on top of a hill with panoramic views of the valley. Walk through temples, plazas, and terraces as your certified guide shares stories about this fascinating UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Continue to the artisan village of Arrazola, home of the famous alebrijes. Meet local artists, see how the figures are carved from copal wood, and watch the detailed painting process that brings each creature to life. We will stop at a Oaxacan buffet to taste authentic local dishes.

Your final stop is San Bartolo Coyotepec, a village known worldwide for its black clay pottery. Visit a family workshop, learn about the traditional firing and polishing techniques, and discover why this craft is unique to Oaxaca.
