Afterward, we will walk to the center of the city to visit one of the most emblematic markets. We will walk through the most important sessions with the intention that you can marvel at the colors, smells, and dynamics of the place. To finish, we will stop at one of the most classic places for rest and reflection: a traditional cantina. Here we will drink a beer (or mineral water, depending on taste) and share stories, anecdotes, and experiences that we will take home with us.
Oaxacan Journey
Hola! Somos Beto y Lupita! Una pareja de viajeros, creadores de contenido digital, orgullosos de nuestra cultura y enamorados de las tradiciones oaxaqueñas. Te llevaremos a contemplar las majestuosas cascadas petrificadas de hierve el agua. Lugar único en el mundo (solamente existen 2 cascadas de este tipo en el planeta) Nuestra aventura comienza muy temprano para poder disfrutar del lugar sólo para nosotros, ya que bajaremos al fondo de la cascada haciendo algo de senderismo! Podrás gozar de las piscinas naturales y bañarte en ellas, tendrás el privilegio de contemplar vistas únicas y además, te ayudaremos a tomar las mejores fotos. Continuaremos nuestro recorrido en el mercado más emblemático y tradicional de la región, para disfrutar de un autentico almuerzo oaxaqueño! El famoso "Mercado de Tlacolula". Grandioso por su folklore, gastronomía y diversidad cultural. Después, visitaremos el pueblo de "Teotitlán del Valle". En donde aprenderemos la elaboración de una de las artesanías más icónicas, no sólo de Oaxaca, sino de todo México: Los tapetes de lana tejidos con pigmentos naturales. En el taller, tendremos la oportunidad de participar en las técnicas ancestrales que utilizan nuestros artesanos desde hace varias generaciones. Nuestra última parada será en el milenario árbol del Tule! Famoso por su longevidad y catalogado como el árbol con el tronco más ancho del mundo.
