Escape the heat at 5,000 feet!

 

Oaxaca's high elevation means cool mornings and evenings all summer long. Daytime temperatures are moderate. Our Guelaguetza tour is a perfect opportunity to escape the heat, discover an extraordinary cultural event, and expand your culinary repertoire. 

​

The Guelaguetza is an annual nine day festival. Seven major indigenous communities, along with many smaller groups, gather in the city to present traditional dancing, costumes, parades, walking bands, native food, and artisanal crafts. It is the most famous indigenous gathering of its kind in Mexico.

​​

Our group will arrive in Oaxaca during the last days of the Guelaguetza festivities. At the close of the festival, we'll get down to the serious business of tasting all Oaxaca has to offer, enjoy a cooking class or two, and become mezcal aficionados. The group will also visit iconic sights and those hidden, less well known spots Open Heart Tours always uncovers for our travelers. Day and night, the streets, restaurants and other public venues will be filled with a feast for your eyes, your heart, and your dancing feet.
