Offered in: English and 5 more

Experience the only tour in Oaxaca inspired by Nacho Libre!

Explore real-life settings from the film as you immerse yourself in the history, culture and magic of Oaxaca.

It begins at the charming Church of Las Peñitas, where Nacho found his faith (and his style!).

Follow Monte Albán, the Zapotec jewel where the epic final scene was recorded.

In a handcrafted palenque, discover the ritual of mezcal, used in the film to “consecrate the soul”.

Then, in Teotitlan, learn how artisans transform wool with natural pigments — the blue that Nacho must have worn in his suit!

And to close, visit the mythical aqueduct where Nacho and Esquel lived unforgettable moments.

It’s more than a tour, it’s an adventure between cinema, tradition and laughter!

Limited place — book today and be part of this unique story!
