Tour description
Oaxaca is one of the most enchanting cities in Mexico, a UNESCO-listed colonial gem set in a valley rich in indigenous Zapotec and Mixtec heritage. Famous for its dazzling baroque churches, colourful streets and extraordinary cuisine, it is a feast for all the senses. On this walking tour a local guide reveals its beauty and traditions.
You will stroll the lively Zócalo, admire the golden Santo Domingo church, and wander markets full of mole, mezcal and craft. Along the way you will hear about the ancient cultures, the colonial era and the living traditions of the region. Colourful and delicious, Oaxaca is a wonderful city to explore on foot.
