Day Trip to Oaxaca & San Martín Tilcajete

Join us to discover the natural, cultural, and artistic wonders of Oaxaca and San Martín Tilcajete on this day trip starting from Puerto Escondido. Enjoy a mezcal tasting included in the experience!

Day Trip Details

At the designated time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Puerto Escondido and begin our journey toward Oaxaca. After a 2 hour and a half journey, we'll arrive at the central Benito Juárez Market for a traditional Oaxacan breakfast.

We'll walk through the charming cobble-stoned streets of Oaxaca to reach the Tourist Walkway, where you'll see the architecture of the Church of Santo Domingo de Guzmán and explore the city's historical center with museums, galleries, and artisan shops. You'll have an hour to have lunch before continuing.

Next, we'll visit the Tree of Tule, a 2,000-year-old natural monument weighing 650 tons. Our next stop will be San Martín Tilcajete, known for artisan crafts carved from copal wood called alebrijes. Here, you'll have the chance to paint your own alebrije in an alebrijes workshop.

Before returning to Puerto Escondido, we'll stop at a mezcal-producing town to learn about mezcal production and visit a distillery. The experience includes a mezcal tasting before concluding our day trip.
