Discover the essence of Oaxaca on a half-day tour combining history, gastronomy and a unique artisan experience.

Begin at Monte Albán, one of Mesoamerica's most important pre-Hispanic cities and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Walk its impressive plazas, temples and lookouts while a certified guide shares the history and legacy of the ancient Zapotec civilization.

After the archaeological visit, enjoy authentic Oaxacan cuisine at a traditional restaurant (buffet or à la carte, meal included).

The experience continues at a black pottery (barro negro) workshop in San Bartolo Coyotepec: a fully hands-on activity where local artisans teach you traditional modeling techniques and you create your own clay piece to take home.
