TLACOLULA TRADITIONAL MARKET TOUR

This tour is an opportunity to rediscover the roots of Oaxaca, exploring its history, culture, and traditions in emblematic places of the Central Valleys. We will immerse ourselves in the majesty of its colonial temples, where art and colonial architecture still resonate through the centuries, as in the Ex-Convent of San Jerónimo Tlacochahuaya, home of a historic bellows organ that every year is the protagonist of concerts that attract musicians and visitors from all over the world. This convent, enriched by the legacy of the Dominican Fathers, is a reflection of the fusion of indigenous and Spanish influences that characterize the region. At each stop, we will visit communities that have preserved their traditional crafts, such as San Marcos Tlapazola, where the red clay handicraft is the legacy of generations of talented craftswomen. Here, we will have the opportunity to learn about the process of creating these unique pieces and, perhaps, take away a sample of this tradition, molded with mastery and respect for the land. In addition, we will experience the vibrant atmosphere of the Tlacolula de Matamoros market, one of the oldest in Oaxaca, where every Sunday a spectacle of color and flavor unfolds.
