- Zona Arqueológica de Monte Albán - Our journey begins with a visit to the archaeological site of Monte Albán, the ceremonial hub of the Zapotec civilization, perched atop a mountain with panoramic views of the valleys. A guided tour will provide insights into the cultural evolution and historical significance of this remarkable site.
- Tule Tree - Next, we will encounter the oldest living Mexican, the Tule Tree. This magnificent Sabino, over 2000 years old, boasts the widest trunk in the world. Visitors can marvel at its immense size and the whimsical shapes formed around its trunk while learning about its fascinating history.
- Rancho Zapata - En route, we will savor the rich and diverse Oaxacan cuisine, known for its strong indigenous influences and traditional ingredients like corn, chili, beans, and cocoa. Delight in dishes such as moles, tlayudas, tamales, quesillo (Oaxaca cheese), and even chapulines. Oaxacan cuisine, a blend of history, culture, and tradition, is recognized as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO.
- Mezcal Don Agave - Travelers will explore an artisanal mezcal distillery, discovering the traditional process of mezcal production, from cooking agave in stone ovens to distilling in copper or clay stills. Learn about the various agave types, age-old techniques, and the cultural significance of mezcal in Oaxaca. The visit concludes with a guided tasting, offering a chance to sample different mezcal varieties and appreciate their distinct aromas, flavors, and characteristics.
- Tapetes Teotitlán - Teotitlán del Valle, a Zapotec town, is renowned for its handcrafted wool rugs dyed with natural colors. This textile tradition, passed down through generations, is a hallmark of the region. Rugs are woven on pedal looms, introduced by the Spanish in the 16th century, yet the designs and techniques have pre-Hispanic origins. Artisans use natural dyes from plants and insects, such as indigo for blues, cochineal for reds, and cempasúchil for yellows. Rug designs range from geometric patterns inspired by Mitla’s grecas to depictions of natural elements and modern motifs. Each piece is unique, requiring weeks or even months to complete, depending on its size and complexity.
