About This Tour
Let yourself go for a day full of flavors, colors and traditions that make Oaxaca unique. Start your experience with making Oaxaca cheese as it is called elsewhere and enjoying a breakfast with traditional memelitas (small corn tortillas), learning the secrets of local cuisine directly from the creators. Admire the grandeur of Monte Albán, the Zapotec city that dominates the valley with its ancient structures and breathtaking views. Enter San Antonio Arrazola, where artisans bring to life the colorful wooden figures called tones and nahuales — popularly known as alebrijes — and share with them the richness of their tradition. Finish in San Bartolo Coyotepec, home of the unmistakable black mud, and discover how clay is transformed into unique pieces through generations of techniques. You can take authentic souvenirs directly from the family workshops, preserving a piece of Oaxaca with you.
