Walking through time in Oaxaca

3 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English and 1 more

What makes this experience unique is that you will not only know the history of Oaxaca : you will see it come alive before your eyes.

Unlike a traditional tour, here you’ll use a carefully curated collection of old photographs to compare the past and present from the same place they were taken decades ago. You’ll find out how streets, squares and buildings have changed, while watching details that normally go unnoticed.

Each stop is an opportunity to travel back in time, recreate historical images and understand the evolution of a World Heritage-listed city from a visual and interactive perspective.

This tour combines history, photography, architecture and exploration in a participatory experience designed for curious travelers looking for more than just a conventional tour. At the end, you won’t just get to know Oaxaca; you’ll learn to see it with different eyes and take a whole new way of remembering the city.

    El Centro Oaxaca De Juarez

    What was Oaxaca like 100 years ago? Join us on a different tour of the Historic Center, where the past comes alive through a carefully selected collection of old photographs. At each stop you will discover the exact spot where a photographer captured a scene decades ago. We will compare yesterday and today to reveal how the streets, buildings, squares and daily life of the city have changed. More than hearing the story, you'll live it. You’ll notice details that normally go unnoticed, discover corners with new meaning and recreate historical images from the same point where they were taken. It is a unique way to get to know Oaxaca through photography, architecture and the memory of a World Heritage-listed city.
