Oaxaca: First Day in Oaxaca — Walk with Your Personal Guide

Start your Oaxaca adventure with a personal walking tour through the UNESCO historic center. Discover colonial facades and lively markets as your guide shares stories, tips, and insider advice.
You will meet in front of the Church of San Juan de Dios, right beside the bustling 20 de Noviembre Market, where your personal guide will welcome you and set the scene for the day. The experience begins inside the famous “Pasillo del Humo” at Mercado 20 de Noviembre, where the smoky aroma of grilled tasajo, cecina, and chorizo fills the air. Here you can observe this lively food tradition of the authentic local flavors.

From there, you’ll continue to Mercado Benito Juárez, a colorful hub of Oaxacan culture. Stroll through its vibrant aisles lined with cacao, cheese, chapulines, mezcal, textiles, and everyday goods, as your guide explains their cultural significance and local stories.

Next, the walk leads you to the elegant Teatro Macedonio Alcalá, a jewel of Art Nouveau architecture where you’ll admire its stunning façade and learn about its role in Oaxaca’s cultural life. The tour then continues to the iconic Templo de Santo Domingo de Guzmán, one of Mexico’s most spectacular Baroque churches, adorned with gold leaf, intricate carvings, and a rich spiritual history.

To conclude, you’ll visit the Stamp Museum (Museum of Philately), a unique space dedicated to stamps and art that blends history with creativity in a contemporary cultural setting. This final stop offers a relaxed and inspiring close to your journey through Oaxaca’s history, flavors, and traditions.
