Experience Details

If you want to try authentic Oaxacan food, you are in the right place!

Let´s go out of the city and explore the native towns, where we can try the most delicious and genuine food of Oaxaca. The food in the city is good, but imagine eating some food made fresh in a traditional way.

This tour was designed to eat like a local by visiting native markets, indigenous families, and traditional cooks, and also to support the local economy by working in community with all of them. We accept groups of 8 people in order to have better attention from all the participants, but you can contact us if you want a private tour. This excursion is the perfect combination of gastronomy, culture, tradition, and art.
