Walking Tour of Oaxaca
We'll pick you up at your hotel to begin our tour of the city, exploring Oaxaca's unique areas. The first stop will be the Temple of Santo Domingo de Guzmán, a prime example of baroque architecture in Mexico. We'll also visit the Museum of the Cultures of Oaxaca (ticket not included), located inside the old Santo Domingo convent, where you can see a collection of archaeological objects from the Mixtec and Zapotec cultures.
The walking tour continues through the cobbled streets of Oaxaca until we arrive at the zólaco, the main square of the city, featuring museums, artisanal shops, and restaurants.
Next, we'll explore traditional markets like the Mercado Benito Juárez, known for its black clay items and the colorful "alebrijes", fantasy figurines native to this region.
After a day of exploring Oaxaca, we'll return to the hotels, arriving around 2 pm.
