Day Trip Details
At the designated time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Puerto Escondido and begin our journey toward Oaxaca. Prepare to be amazed by this vibrant city!
After a 2 hour and a half journey, we'll arrive at the central Benito Juárez Market to enjoy a traditional Oaxacan breakfast. You'll enjoy a sensory experience filled with delightful aromas and flavors!
Next, we'll walk through the charming cobble-stoned streets of Oaxaca until we reach the Tourist Walkway. Here, you'll admire the architecture of the Church of Santo Domingo de Guzmán and explore the city's historical center full of museums, galleries, and artisan shops.
Before leaving Oaxaca, you'll have an hour to have lunch. Afterwards, we'll head to the famous Tree of Tule, a 2,000-year-old natural monument weighing 650 tons that will leave you breathless. Did you know the Tule tree is one of the oldest and largest trees in the world?
Our next stop will be at San Martín Tilcajete, a municipality known for beautiful artisan crafts carved from copal wood called alebrijes. Let your creativity run free as you paint your own alebrije in an alebrijes workshop!
Before we return to Puerto Escondido, we'll stop at a mezcal-producing town. Get ready to learn about the production process of mezcal as you walk among agave fields and visit a distillery. The finishing touch to your experience will be a mezcal tasting!
