Skip the crowds this is a private tour for your group only!
You step into the valley where agave carpets the hills. A family palenque welcomes you with smoke rising from underground ovens. You watch piñas roast and hear the crackle of stone against agave hearts. The tahona wheel turns slowly while the scent of fermenting mash drifts through wooden vats. Soon you taste Espadín and rare agaves, each sip revealing earth and fire. In Mitla the fields stretch endless, their sharp leaves catching the midday sun. You walk among thousands of plants that rustle in the wind. A traditional Oaxacan table awaits you in a village comedor. Tlayudas and mole share space with fresh tortillas as a glass of mezcal lingers warm in your hand. Which flavor will stay with you longest, the smoke or the silence?
