Your Journey Overview
Your adventure begins in Mexico City, where modern vibrancy and ancient traditions meet. Settle into a boutique hotel in a lively cultural district before heading out with a local guide to explore the city’s food scene. Taste authentic street dishes such as tacos al pastor, blue-corn quesadillas, fresh salsas, and regional snacks prepared at traditional stalls and small family-run eateries.
Mexico City — Urban Energy & Street Food Culture
A curated mezcal tasting rounds out your evening, introducing you to smoky, handcrafted varieties paired with local bites. Throughout the following days, wander through neighborhood markets brimming with spices, fruits, herbs, and artisan goods, while discovering the rhythm and character of Mexico’s capital.
Oaxaca — Culinary Heritage & Indigenous Traditions
Fly south to Oaxaca, a cultural jewel known for its ancestral cuisine and artisanal heritage. After checking in at a charming hotel near the historic center, join a local chef for a guided market tour. Select fresh regional ingredients — native corn, Oaxacan cheese, aromatic herbs, and an array of chiles — before participating in a hands-on cooking class. Prepare classic dishes such as tlayudas, handmade tortillas, and one of Oaxaca’s renowned moles.
In the evening, enjoy a private mezcal experience, discovering the significance of agave, the traditional production methods, and the range of flavors found in this celebrated spirit.
