Tour description

The best introduction to understand Oaxaca. During the tour we will talk about the pre-Hispanic past and its influence on the present. We will analyze the causes of social struggles and cultural resistance.

During the visit we will go to the following places:

  • Xochimilco neighborhood
  • Jalatlaco neighborhood
  • Ethnobotanical Garden

  • Temple of Santo Domingo
  • Macedonio Alcalá Theater

We will also try a typical and refreshing drink made with cocoa and corn. We will talk about the different cultures that live in the state and about a very important graphic artist. We will finish near a market where you can try the tlayudas.

We showed up 10 minutes early to the meeting spot and waited until 10:30am. But the tour guide never showed up. We also didn’t get any sort of communication that the tour was canceled or that the guide wasn’t able to make it. Very disappointed
