Itinerary

Teotitlan del Valle

1 h 30 min

We will live a phenomenal experience learning about wool carpets, from how they are painted with natural colors, to weaving on pedal looms. Here you can exercise your coordination because you will practice on a real loom to be able to make mats. You’ll also discover all the secrets of our ancestors in how they used plants, animals and barks to paint sheep’s wool and make their carpets.
Mercado Tlacolula

40 min

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 such as Tejate, traditional bread and 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. Here you will truly live the culture of an Oaxacan.
Santiago Matatlan

1 h 40 min

And that is an Oaxacan experience without the delicious Mezcal. Matatlan, world capital of 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 8 different types of wild agaves: Cuixe, tobalá, Mexican, tepeztate, among others. We will also visit the agave field so you can see how it grows. After learning the whole process and having tasted all the types of Mezcal there is, it is time for lunch, where we will taste a traditional Oaxacan meal, which I am sure you will enjoy a lot, will be accompanied by flavor water of the day and guess what, more mezcal!
San Pablo Villa de Mitla

30 min

But the adventure does not end there! We are going to Mitla the town where I live, we will visit my family's clothing store and together with my mom we will take more mezcal from my own brand.

And after all this day full of activities, we return to the city, not before taking a walk through the main streets of Mitla.
