What you can expect

Begin your adventure in the heart of Oaxaca City. Travel for 1 hour and 20 minutes, passing through charming villages and taking in breathtaking views of the Tlacolula Valley and majestic mountains.

Arrive at the entrance to the prehistoric caves of Mitla, located on the outskirts of San Pablo Villa de Mitla, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Meet a local guide who will lead you through the caves, where you can admire ancient rock paintings created thousands of years ago. Enjoy an easy hike as you explore this fascinating site.

Next, drive for 20 minutes to the Tlacolula Market to savour local cuisine, with options for vegans and vegetarians. Spend 50-60 minutes enjoying the flavours of Oaxaca.
