Highlights
  • Calle Ignacio Zaragoza 112 - Immerse yourself in the culinary delights of Oaxaca with a Zapotec family on this tour. After convening in Oaxaca city at your designated spot, we’ll embark on a journey to my hometown, which is approximately an hour and 15 minutes away. Upon arrival, my mother will welcome you with a scrumptious breakfast of chocolate and bread.

Energized from breakfast, my mother and I will guide you through the entire tortilla-making process, from shelling the corn to kneading the dough, and ultimately, cooking and savoring the tortillas.

When it’s time for lunch, you’ll assist in crafting a salsa as my mother prepares a spread of fresh dishes, including quesadillas, eggs cooked on a comal, memelitas, and refreshing juice. Additionally, you’ll gain insights into the culture and traditions of my village.

After a day brimming with adventure and learning, you’ll head back to the city.

Excellent Zapoteco Experience - This was the highlight of the whole trip, Cesar picked me and my family up from flat in Oaxaca City and shuttled us to San Dionisio de Ocotepec. His family showed us how to make traditional zapoteco food, including salsa and tortillas on the comal. Amazing experience all around, very friendly people.
