Oaxaca
Day 1-11
Beautiful Oaxaca de Juarez! This city is the capital of Oaxaca and here is our base where we are sharing a nice house B&B in the colorful downtown and from here we are going to discover the culture, activities and delicious food that it has to offer. And also from here we are going to move to check the surroundings as Montealban, Hierve el Agua a hike to la Sierra Norte to learn about myths and legends among the nature in this place, etc. On the last 3 days of this trip "La Guelaguetza" is going to get sarted. It is the most important and popular period in the year to visit Oaxaca. "La Guelaguetza" is a traditional zapoteca and mexica festivity to honor the goddess of corn it is a prehispanic tradition that brings tourists of all over the world. Before that happens definitively we are going to the local markets to taste Mole and fusion cuisine if we are in a fancy mood too ;) a tasting of mezcal it is a must since it is a traditional drink that I love! Let's remember it is not for nothing that this cuisine is part of the Immaterial UNESCO World Heritage. Our afternoons painted by beautiful sunsets to enjoy at different spots in the city, traditional ice cream while doing great tours at night in search for legends and to discover the city since I am a passionate of history and myths. I've always loved the spirit of this city at night as other cities it throws such a different energy in the day from the night. Let's enjoy it! And here we will also just share smooth, nice and relaxed sunsets at the house talking, cooking, eating and getting to know each other a little better. I can't wait to meet you all!

Monte Albán
Day 11
I present to you Montealban! This archaeological site is a very special and mystical one. I love it! And you will see why ;) In the morning after breakfast we will leave to go to Montealban. Once there we will make a tour of the site (either guided or by our own we will decide that at that moment), you will also get free time for pictures and for going around by your own and I will also propose you to do a nice meditation with an energetic activation using the energy and inspiration of this beautiful place in the height surrounded by mountains. It's going to be great! After that we will take our way back to Oaxaca City.

Mitla
Day 11
Mitla the place of the dead! In the morning after breakfast we will take the way to Mitla. This is a beautiful mystical village that I've always wanted to visit. Is the home of an amazing Zapotec archaeological site with very particular artistic style that we don't find anywhere else in Mexico. This site came second in importance after Montealban. Here is the place where they would do ceremonial rituals for priests. So imagine the energy of this land! And the village is another great example of Oaxaca's culture and folklore full of artists and traditions. We shouldn't miss it! :) After eating we will hit eh way back to Oaxaca city.

Our first stop will be around the village of San Miguel del Valle which is surrounded by beautiful landscapes that are covered by myths and legends that we are going to be taught on our way to the Canal of Tlacolula. At the canal which is our second stop, we are taking the time for great pictures from the 360° lookout. From there we are going to follow the track that will take us to the cave known as "Cueva Iglesia" (the Church Cave) which is a natural formation that has the form of a Church. Of course, that place too, is all covered by legends that will also are going to be shared by our guides from local tales that come from the early 19th century. Our trek continues to the lookout known as "El Mono" and from there the descent begins until "La Neveria" which is a small dam where we are taking a break for a picnic and snacks with the relaxing sound of water. Once we are done we will start the ascend to the village Llano Grande where we are going to be picked up so we can return to our Hotel in Oaxaca City. I can't wait to go on this adventure with you!!
