Oaxaca Trip Overview
I have been doing tours for the last twenty years and know my city and its surroundings extremely well. I do not sugar coat Mexico, I give my personal point of view, not following what our country taught us in school. The top notch artisans that I take people to, are not visited by other tour conductors, they prefer to go where they get a “cut” from the purchase; I have chosen the best so my tourists see the best. When a tourist realize that was cheated, the first complain is not who sold it, but who took him or her to that place. I honestly think that money is nice, we work for money, but untill a certain point, because it disappears in one or two days, but good memories stay forever. Come and enjoy with your family, all the sights and sounds of Oaxaca, the number one indigenous State in the Country, after all, for sure here we are a step back in time…. I welcome you even before you get here. Depending on your arrival time, I might be able to pick you up at the airport.

Itinerary
Route one: Tule tree, sixteenth century Dominican church, weavers village and Mezcal distillery. Route two: Villages of wood carvers, black pottery and back strapped looms. Route three: Monte Albán, hand made paper factory, School of Art and Green glazed and terracotta pottery village. Passenger insurance, in an SUV Chevrolet Suburban or Audi sedan with A/C , cold purified water, ice, etc. In case that you want to stop to eat something, I know the best spots. Give you explanations interacting with locals, history, etc. When tourists ask me to stop by the houses of the artisans, I steer away from the most touristy places and stop with true artists and Masters; buying something or not, you can be sure that you will be looking at high-quality craftsmanship or as people say; “the real thing”.
You can “play it by ear” and stop or skip some places. Normally takes six hours each route at your own pace.
Stop At:
• Teotitlan del Valle, Teotitlan del Valle, Southern Mexico
• Exconvento de San Jeronimo, Tlachochahuaya, Oaxaca Mexico
• San Martin Tilcajete, San Martin Tilcajete, Southern Mexico
