Oaxaca City Waling Tour: The Cultural Heart of Mexico

The tour lasts 2 hours
Available in English and Spanish

Description

Discover Oaxaca City – a UNESCO World Heritage site – through the eyes of a local Oaxaqueño, certified tour guide and an artist.
We'll visit the most iconic spots:

• **Subterráneos** – An underground print gallery where art is a political weapon
• **Santo Domingo** – Baroque gold meets green stone. The church that helped fund an empire
• **IAGO (Graphic Arts Institute)** – The legacy of Francisco Toledo and how he stopped McDonald's from touching Oaxaca
• **Manuel Álvarez Bravo Photo Center** – A colonial mansion hosting photography exhibitions
• **San Pablo Cultural Center** – Three eras in one building: Zapotec ruins, a Dominican Convent, and contemporary Cultural Center
• **Macedonio Alcalá Theater** – Oaxaca's most iconic theater and its french historical influence.

  • Street Markets

2-hour walking tour exploring three layers of Oaxaca:
• Pre-Hispanic grandeur
• Colonial majesty carved in green stone
• Contemporary art as cultural resistance

**What makes this tour different?**
I'm not just an enthusiastic local – I'm a certified guide with formal training and into the artistic scene. 

**Bonus:** I'll share personal food and restaurant recommendations and an art surprise.
