DISCLAIMER
We do not sell tickets to The Guelaguetza taking place in el Cerro del Fortín.
La Guelaguetza takes place in Oaxaca city, but there are other Guelaguetzas held in various villages throughout the valley. These more informal celebrations of the Guelaguetza probably bear more resemblance to the way the festival was originally celebrated. This is not so much a show, but a time for people to come together and enjoy one another’s presence, their culture and food. The Guelaguetza lasts for several hours and here people come and go throughout the presentation. The Guelaguetza is a festival of music, costumes, dances, and food, but it’s also a celebration of the mutual interdependence of people within a community.
In these days of Guelaguetza we will be showing the most beautiful and important places and festivities in Oaxaca, mixing the tours that we already have organized with the most important party of the year in Oaxaca, visiting the Guelaguetza in its most original form.

1Oaxaca
Join us on an exploration of vibrant Oaxaca through the streets, markets and celebrated landmarks of the city center. Taking in plazas, historic buildings, local legends, exquisite architecture and of course the fascinating world of Oaxaca’s markets. Strolling around the streets of Oaxaca will open your appetite, and so we will make a stop in La Cosecha Market. It is open air and very clean as opposed to the main city markets and was setup to showcase the food from different regions of the state, which you can choose from the different vendors that surround a common eating area. To finish the day, we will drive to a nearby community where you will dive in the Guelaguetza event, where you will be able to watch the traditional festival, filled with dances and stunning textiles from different Oxacan regions.
