Experience Details

Journey into the heart of Oaxacan culture with a traditional cook, a UNESCO-recognized guardian of Mexican heritage. This tour empowers local families and honors the women preserving Mexico’s culinary legacy. Begin at the vibrant market in Teotitlán del Valle, selecting ingredients that bring ancestral recipes to life, before heading to our host’s home for a warm welcome with Oaxaca’s traditional bread and chocolate. Learn to prepare tamales and moles (green, red, black) using time-honored techniques on the metate and comal.


After enjoying your creations with an artisanal mezcal tasting, visit a family-owned textile workshop where handmade rugs and modern products, like hats and bags, blend tradition with innovation. End this unique journey with a stop at the legendary Tule Tree, a living symbol of Oaxaca’s heritage.
