Say hola to an adventure in the heart of Mexico
  • Wander the UNESCO World Heritage site of Teotihuacan and see the archaeological ruins that predate the Aztec Empire by more than 1000 years.
  • Visit a local black pottery studio and watch a demonstration of how this ‘pottery of the night’ is made, then join an alebrijes workshop and learn about the brightly coloured Mexican folk art sculptures of mythical creatures.
  • Tour the local markets of Oaxaca – follow your nose to find the Pasillo de las Carnes Asadas (grilled meats aisle), choose your favourites, then load it up with guacamole, salsa and fresh tortillas for a classic Oaxacan lunch.
  • Soak up a full free day in Oaxaca, exploring the city at your own pace. Maybe take a cooking class or venture into the countryside to see some local villages and mezcal distilleries.
  • See the ancient ruins of Monte Alban – a UNESCO World Heritage site that tells the story of the Olmec, Zapotec and Mixtec peoples.
