The Last Ancestral Mezcal in Oaxaca
Let me take you on a unique prehispanic mezcal sampling on a Ancestral Palenque. You will get to know a special place in Arrazola behind the ruins of Monte Alban. Cesar will drive you from the meeting point (in the downtown area) to the small Palenque where the "Mezcal el Sonador" is made. Once we get there, you will sip Mezcal while being shown how it is crafted with the original techniques that made it such an important part of the history of Oaxaca.
Now that you know how it is made, you will get to see the 7 different types of agave plants that are used and learn about how each impacts the flavor and experience of the Mezcal. Keep in mind that even a subtle detail in this process can and does impact the flavor of the mezcal, that is what makes this one of the most unique parts of the Oaxacan heritage.
A variety of bottles will be available for purchase, and of course once we are ready we can return to the meeting point.
Visita las ruinas de Monte Alban
Pasaremos por los viajeros a su Airbnb o podemos vernos en en algún punto intermedio ,nos transportaremos en una van cómoda, A/C y de ahí nos dirigiremos hacia la zona arqueológica de Monte Alban a 30 min de la Cd., una de las ciudades prehispánicas mas antiguas de América y de México , pero con una de las vistas mas hermosas de la Oaxaca.
Hare una visita guiada (1-1.30hrs) , compartiendo lo que mas me gusta del lugar , así como visitas a las tumbas , plataformas y espacios que normalmente no se visitan , y después contaran con tiempo libre para explorar y disfrutar del sitio .(1-1.30hrs o mas )
