About this trip
Five days in Oaxaca City and the villages around it, built to give you a proper feel for the region without rushing through it. You get ancient ruins, craft traditions still very much alive, and food and drink that Oaxaca is genuinely known for.
Expect a mix of guided history at sites like Monte Albán and time in workshops and villages meeting the people who make the textiles, pottery and mezcal you'll come across. It's a relaxed pace suited to travellers who want context and connection rather than a checklist.
What you'll do
- Explore the Zapotec and Mixtec ruins of Monte Albán
- Taste mezcal at a small-scale distillery
- Visit craft villages known for weaving and pottery
- Meet local artisans at work in their workshops
- Spend time in Oaxaca City's historic centre
- Fully guided throughout, so little is left to work out yourself
- Relaxed pace suited to families and those wanting a cultural rather than adventure-focused trip
