The adventure begins in the heart of Oaxaca, heading toward the prehistoric caves of Mitla. During a 1 hour and 20 minute drive, we will enjoy the landscapes of the Tlacolula Valley and its surrounding mountains. In San Pablo Villa de Mitla, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, a local guide will lead us on an easy 1.5-hour hike through caves and ancient rock paintings that reveal thousands of years of history. Then, after a 20-minute drive, we will enter what many describe as the final chapter of Pre-Hispanic Zapotec culture at the archaeological site of Mitla. Finally, we will savor the best of Oaxacan cuisine at the Tlacolula Market, with options to suit every taste.
