Descripción
Experience Monte Alban and taste five award-winning mezcals at our self-sustaining palenque.
This is not just any sightseeing tour of Oaxaca. It's a half-day immersion in living Zapotec culture, guided by locals who grew up among these mountains, agave plants, and traditions.
Your day begins with a pick-up directly from your accommodation. From there, we'll ascend to Monte Albán, the ancient Zapotec capital and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Spend two hours exploring the ceremonial plazas, the pyramids, and the Astronomical Observatory, discovering stories and legends you won't find anywhere else.
Next, we'll descend into the heart of Oaxaca's mezcal region to visit our own Capotlán distillery, which is 100% self-sufficient and environmentally friendly. This is an interactive experience: you'll walk among the earthen ovens where the agave hearts are roasted, see the traditional stone tahona in action without animal abuse, and join our Master Mezcal Maker for a guided tasting of five award-winning artisanal mezcals. You'll learn to distinguish an Espadín from a Tobalá using your five senses.
Enjoy the best experience with safe transportation, in small groups (maximum 13 people), backed by 13 years of experience and certified by the National Tourism Registry.
