Oaxaca: Tastes of Yesterday & Today

Oaxaca has been called Mexico’s culinary capital, and the historic center has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage site. The Spanish colonial architecture will take you back in time. Oaxaca is also a place that retains many of its traditions and much of its historic culture – as a commercial center for the surrounding communities, and as home to artisan makers of pottery, rugs, textiles and other regional crafts. There are so many good reasons to visit Oaxaca, including the tour leaders, Chef Iliana de La Vega and Journalist Isabel Torrealba, who Oldways is so pleased to partner with.
