Description

Discover why Oaxaca is renowned for its exquisite crafts and delectable cuisine, making it a haven for art enthusiasts and foodies alike.
Our journey begins with visits to family-owned and operated pottery studios, where the region's myriad colors come to life in clay. Witness the raw ingredients and techniques that shape these beautiful creations, and gain insight into the passion and dedication that drives their craft. These skilled artisans are the very essence of Oaxaca's art and culture.
Prepare to be enchanted as we step into the world of Alebrijes at a renowned studio that has inspired worldwide acclaim and even graced the screen in the Disney movie 'Coco.' Marvel at the artists' process, from sourcing timber and pigments from nature to the intricate and awe-inspiring painting of these whimsical sculptures.
Lunchtime brings a feast for the senses, with a delightful spread of local cuisine served to perfection. Relish in the flavors of moles, memelas, frijoles, and other regional delicacies, all in an authentic and beautifully curated setting that embodies the soul of Zapotec culture.
And no visit to Oaxaca is complete without experiencing the magic of Mezcal. Our journey takes us to a pioneering distillery that not only produces exceptional liquor but also upholds organic and sustainable practices. This commitment to the land and the plants used is a testament to the spirit of resistance against the pressures of industrialization and corporate influence faced by small producers.
Throughout this immersive experience, you'll witness the hand-built, home-made ethos that defines Oaxaca's unique charm. Every location we visit is carefully hand-picked to exemplify excellence in craftsmanship, support their extended families and communities, and embody responsible environmental practices.
