Roughly a fifth of the US population is Latinx or of Latin American heritage, making it one of the largest and most influential demographics in the country. Unsurprisingly, then, the reach of Latinx culture in the United States is vast, and is expressed through everything from cuisine to music to dance. To get in the celebratory spirit this Latinx Heritage Month (or, let's be honest, year-round), here are our top picks of tours that celebrate Latinx culture across the US. ¡Vamos!

3. Learn to make Mexican mole in Chicago

This traditional Oaxacan dish is a beloved delicacy that is notoriously difficult and complicated to make. With some recipes exceeding 20 distinct ingredients (including chiles, nuts, spices, and chocolate), this workshop demystifies some of the techniques needed to make an authentic version. But the best part? Getting to try some Mexican mole, made by the pros.

4. Peruse the Latin American arts in Long Beach, California

The Museum of Latin American Art (MOLAA) is home to an impressive array of art exhibits, cultural events, and educational programs that showcase the variety of Latin American artistic expression throughout the world. In the heart of Long Beach, this museum's exhibits range from classic to contemporary Latin American artists and you can admire them all as part of a self-guided audio tour.

6. Enjoy history with a side of tacos in San Diego, California

San Diego is home to some of the best Latinx cultural and culinary traditions in the United States. Start this tour at the Old Adobe Chapel where the Spanish first settled and make your way to the Presidio and Mission. In between walking destinations, you’ll stop for a bite of authentic street tacos and wrap up the tour at a tequila bar for a nice cap to the day.
