Overview

This experience has been carefully designed for those who want to discover the essence of Oaxaca in one day. In addition to visiting Monte Albán, the ancient capital of Zapoteca and one of the most important archaeological sites in Mexico, you will visit some of the most representative craft villages in the region.

You’ll get up close and personal with the process of making black mud in San Bartolo Coyotepec and the colorful hand-carved and hand-painted alebrijes in San Antonio Arrazola. In addition, you will visit Teotitlán del Valle, renowned for its extraordinary wool mats woven with natural dyes, a rare stop because it is located in a different valley.

Thanks to a carefully planned route, this tour brings together history, art and tradition in one private experience, allowing you to make the most of your time without sacrificing the quality of each visit.
