Is Oaxaca city on your travel bucket list? A historic centre of ochre walls, courtyards and markets trading the same chiles, cacao and herbs they have for centuries. But the cooking, the mezcal and the craft all come from somewhere else: the Central Valleys, half an hour out, where black clay is turned in San Bartolo Coyotepec, alebrijes are carved and painted in San Martín Tilcajete, wool is dyed with cochineal and indigo in Teotitlán del Valle, and agave is roasted in the ground at family palenques.
We spend the week moving between the two. One hotel in the heart of the city to come back to, and days out in the villages with the locals. Long lunches, open-air kitchens, and enough time in each place to enjoy. Message us today, to secure your spot on one of next tours!
