What to expect

Begin your journey in the main square, where the beauty of the Santo Domingo temple awaits. Once part of a convent, it has now been transformed into one of the finest museums of colonial and pre-Colombian art. Here, you'll discover valuable artefacts from the Monte Alban archaeological site.

From there, continue along the pedestrianised tourist walkway. Admire the green quarry buildings that line the path until you reach the Cathedral. This magnificent structure was built by Dominican monks in the 16th century. Just a short distance away, you'll find the Macedonio Alcalá Theater, an architectural gem in the heart of Oaxaca City.

Your journey doesn’t end here. Next, head to the local chocolate mills to learn about the ingredients used in creating this exquisite drink. Finally, visit the bustling market - a hub of activity where hundreds gather daily to offer their distinctive products. This tradition harks back to pre-Hispanic times, making it one of the most authentic experiences in the region.
