Description
Explore Mitla’s sacred Zapotec sites, stroll Tlacolula market stalls, and enjoy hands-on traditional Oaxacan chocolate making a taste of history and culture.
This private journey lets your group explore Mitla in comfort!
You travel through the Tlacolula Valley toward Mitla, once the sacred heart of the Zapotec world. You walk stone courtyards where geometric carvings seem to echo with ancient voices. You pause to feel cool stone walls beneath your fingertips as your guide shares legends of ritual and passage. In the lively market, bright textiles sway in the breeze and pottery clinks softly on wooden stalls. Colors, textures, and voices surround you as you wander through the stalls. After a traditional lunch, you follow the warm scent of cacao drifting from the fire. You roast and grind beans by hand, then sip a rich chocolate drink once reserved for priests and warriors. The taste lingers like a living memory of Oaxaca’s past.
