Experience Details

On this tour you will have the opportunity to learn more about Oaxaca, where you will learn about sheep wool rugs, try traditional Oaxacan food, and learn the process of making and distilling artisanal mezcal. The most interesting thing is that you will have unlimited mezcal so you can try it whenever you want.


I've lived in Oaxaca all my life, and I know every corner and detail that makes it unique. I am of indigenous blood who loves and is passionate about his work. Everyone I collaborate with is incredibly knowledgeable about their work, from the rugs to the mezcal to the food at the market.

Discover the Oaxaca Valley and its most important sites with me. I promise you'll have a wonderful time.

Do you want something unique and special? Book now and discover every corner.

What You’ll Experience

1

Teotitlan del Valle

We'll have a phenomenal experience learning about wool rugs, from how they're painted with natural colors to how they're woven on pedal looms. Here you can exercise your coordination by practicing on a real loom to make rugs. You'll also discover all the secrets our ancestors used to paint sheep's wool and make textiles using plants, animals, and bark.
1 hour 20 minutesAdmission Ticket Free
2

Mercado Tlacolula

We will take a tour between the most emblematic aisles of the market of Tlacolula, it is magical to be able to live with the renters of the market. Here we will try different pre-Hispanic drinks and food (chapulines, dare you try them?). If your reservation is on a Sunday, we will visit the oldest tianguis in the valley, take a tour of the entire tianguis and see how people use this day to share, market and exchange their products.
30 minutesAdmission Ticket Free
3

Santiago Matatlan

And that is an Oaxacan experience without the delicious Mezcal. Here you will learn all about its distillation process to feel like a true master rocker, but above all, you will be able to try more than 15 different types of wild agaves. Cuixe, tobalá, Mexican, wild boar, among others. We will also visit the agave field so you can see how they are sown. After learning the whole process of mezcal and having tasted all the types of agave that are there, it is time for lunch, where we will taste a traditional Oaxacan food, which I am sure you will enjoy a lot, will be accompanied by flavor water of the day and guess what, more mezcal!
1 hour 40 minutesAdmission Ticket Free
4

San Pablo Villa de Mitla

But the adventure doesn't end there! We're going to Mitla to tour the main streets on an ATV. I'll tell you wonderful stories and we'll also visit my family's clothing store, where my mom and I will sip more mezcal while she shows you the clothes she designs.
