Inside the Program: Day by Day

Here’s a day-by-day look at your week in Oaxaca — a thoughtfully designed itinerary that we can adjust together to make sure it fits you just right.

Day 1

Historic Oaxaca

We’ll kick things off with a walk through Oaxaca’s historic center — iconic churches, striking street art, and a city atmosphere that’s hard to put into words. It’s rich, it’s real, and it’s just the beginning.

Day 2

Cycling escape

What better way to explore the stunning outskirts of Oaxaca than on two wheels? Don’t worry, the ride is tailored to your pace. Not much of a cyclist? We’ll keep it light. Up for a challenge? Let’s just say your legs will remember this day.

Day 3

Art in Oaxaca

Oaxaca breathes art, from its walls to its galleries. So today, we dive into the city’s creative soul: exploring powerful murals, visiting a local gallery, and stepping into the process ourselves with an art workshop. Ready to let that hidden creativity of yours come to life?

Day 4

Capulálpam de Méndez

Time to leave the city behind and head for the mountains. Today’s destination: Capulálpam de Méndez, officially designated as a Pueblo Mágico — a prestigious label created by the Mexican government to highlight towns with rich culture, history, and natural beauty. It’s peaceful, picturesque… and a little cooler up there, so pack something warm!

Day 5

Hiking in the Sierra Norte

Welcome to the Sierra Norte — one of Oaxaca’s eight regions, known for its pine forests and serene mountain trails. Today’s all about reconnecting with nature through a peaceful hike and a traditional massage. A quiet reset in the heart of the highlands.

Day 6

Barro Negro in San Bartolo Coyotepec

Today we head to San Bartolo Coyotepec — where clay isn’t just clay, it’s art. Watch a master potter shape magic from mud, then swing by Doña Rosa’s legendary workshop. Warning: you may leave with more souvenirs than planned.

Day 7

Monte Albán

Last but not least… We wrap up the week with a visit to Monte Albán — Oaxaca’s iconic archaeological site, where traces of ancient life date back to 600 B.C. And to end things on a high note, we’ll toast the experience over dinner at a Michelin-starred restaurant. A fitting finale to an unforgettable week.

Taste of Oaxaca

Each day, we’ll gather around the table to share breakfast and lunch — connecting over traditional Oaxacan dishes, fresh market food, and cozy local cafés. We’ll end our time together with a memorable Michelin-starred dinner, celebrating the journey we’ve shared.
