Enjoy breakfast at your guest house, then head out to the traditional Zapotec village of Teotitlan del Valle. Situated about 19 miles west of the city, the village is world-renowned for its hand-woven wool rugs, tapestries, and other textiles crafted on traditional pedal-operated wooden looms. Take some time to explore their craft and learn about their traditional dying techniques - and purchase some beautiful pieces to take home.
Later, visit the home of a local Zapotec family to learn more about their culinary traditions through a hands-on cooking class. After cooking, enjoy the meal with your group. What makes this experience extra special is the direct connection with a Zapotec family for a particularly beautiful cultural exchange, with a strong focus on learning directly from the family and understanding their connection to the land and their techniques passed down through generations.
In the evening, return to Oaxaca for a night at leisure to explore at your own pace.
