I studied Modern Languages and Interculturalism and worked as a teacher for many years, but my true passion has always been traveling and discovering new places, learning about culture, and connecting with people. That passion led me to take a fresh look at the place where I was born and raised: Oaxaca, a city I consider one of the most beautiful in the world.

Tour description

Imagine walking along colorful cobblestone streets, vibrant murals, and colonial houses that seem frozen in time. Welcome to Jalatlaco, a magical neighborhood tucked away in the heart of Oaxaca, where every corner holds a story and every aroma whets your appetite.

On this tour you will experience Oaxaca with all five senses:

✨ The taste of chocolate that for centuries has been a symbol of community.

✨ The aroma of freshly baked bread that connects with family tradition.

✨ The texture of a memelita prepared on a clay comal.

✨ The joyful sound of the streets where the old and the new coexist.

✨ And finally, the warmth of a good shared mezcal, as tradition dictates.

For just over two hours, you'll not only try the neighborhood's most authentic street food, but you'll also discover its cultural and artistic soul: from historic temples to an alebrije workshop, passing by small shops, cafes, and flavors that will stay with you forever.

This tour is designed for those who want more than just a walk: it's an invitation to connect with Oaxaca in an intimate, joyful, and delightful way, accompanied by a local guide who will share stories, anecdotes, and secrets about this unique corner of the city.

At the end, you'll toast with a fine artisanal mezcal, celebrating not only the flavors you tasted, but also the experience of having experienced the true heart of Oaxaca.


🌿 It's the ideal experience if:

  • You have a short stay in Oaxaca and want to make the most of it while trying authentic local food.
  • If you don't know where to start exploring the city, what better place to start than Mexico's first Magical Neighborhood.
  • Are you traveling alone and looking for connection, or are you coming in a small group and looking for a more personal tour?


More than a gastronomic tour, this will be an authentic experience: you'll walk with me as if you were out with a friend from Oaxaca, discovering the history, culture, traditions, flavors, and essence of the city at every stop we make.

We'll begin the tour at the Jalatlaco church and end at a special place for mezcal tasting with a talk about its production and types of agave.

📸 Plus, I'll guide you to the best photo spots that will make your visit unforgettable.

✨ Come with a desire to be surprised and let yourself be carried away by the magic of Oaxacan food.

I'm a local and I love sharing my city in an authentic way, with stories, traditions, and tips to make the most of your stay.

✅ Includes:

A tour of all the aforementioned tastings, plus a passionate local guide who shares authentic stories.

🚶‍♂️ Recommendations:

Wear comfortable shoes, bring a hat, sunscreen, and water. Arrive hungry and curious, and let yourself be surprised.

✨ In just 2 hours, discover the flavors, colors, and soul of Jalatlaco—an intimate journey into the spirit of Oaxaca. ✨
