Your tour includes a visit to the 20 de Noviembre market where Oaxacan folklore is very present.
Enter a chocolate factory and taste Oaxaca’s signature hot chocolate,
nowadays known around the globe, then visit the Zócalo (Oaxaca’s main plaza) with its cathedral constructed by the Dominicans in the 16th-century. Stroll through the touristic walkway Alcalá, one of the main streets in the city that was turned into a pedestrian road connecting the Zócalo with the Santo Domingo market.
Continue to the Church of Santo Domingo de Guzmán, which once formed part of a monastery, but is now transformed into a state museum. End your visit at the Ethno Botanical Garden where you can see hundreds of plant species originating from different regions all over the state of Oaxaca.

Visit the village of Arrazola, famous for its wooden figures in bright colors commonly known as “Alebrijes.” Continue to Cuilapan de Guerrero, where you will visit the unfinished but marvelous ex-monastery of Cuilapan, a 16th-century architectural complex.
Next stop is Zaachila, regionally famous for its history, legends, and ancient traditions existing until today. While here, enjoy a delicious Oaxacan lunch, in addition to the tasty ice cream made of natural fruit offered all over the town center.
