Top Oaxaca Day Trips - page 11

Discover the essence of Oaxaca on a complete route that brings together nature, history, Zapotec culture, artisan traditions and mezcal in one day. Visit emblematic places such as the tule tree, Teotitlán del valle, Hierve el Agua and the archaeological area of Mitla and get to know the artisan process of making mezcal. More than touring different places, this experience seeks to bring you closer to the cultural richness of Oaxacan communities, their histories, craft techniques and knowledge passed down from generation to generation.

What distinguishes this experience is the opportunity to live the Day of the Dead from within a community of the Etla Valley, where the Deaths are part of the identity and tradition of its inhabitants. Accompanied by a guide, you will not only observe masks, music and characters walking through the streets, but you will know the meaning of the mortarians, the devils, spiritualists and the traditional representations that are part of the celebration. Being a real community holiday and not a show created for tourists, each Death takes place differently, making the characters, music, encounters and tour turn each night into a unique experience.
