Oaxaca Tour & Alebrije Workshop

An Oaxaca city tour combining historical landmarks with a unique cultural experience. The tour starts with Santo Domingo de Guzman, a former abbey and one of Oaxaca's most important colonial buildings. Now a museum, it houses the Museum of Cultures. You'll then walk through the Zocalo, Oaxaca's main square, and visit the 17th-century, baroque-style cathedral dedicated to Our Lady of the Assumption. The tour concludes at the Benito Juarez market, a vibrant hub where commerce and tradition meet. To cap off the day, you'll discover the art of alebrijes, fantastical wooden creatures, through a workshop suitable for both adults and children. This workshop provides a chance to learn about and create your own piece of Oaxacan tradition.
