Overview

Discover Oaxaca de Juárez through a tour that delves into art, history, and geography. As a specialized guide, I'll immerse you in Oaxacan culture and its origins, traversing the city's historical boundaries.

This experience will unveil emblematic sites and their historical context, revealing the uniqueness of Oaxacan culture. From the charming Barrio de Jalatlaco to the iconic Parque Paseo Juárez El Llano and the fascinating Historic Center of the City of Oaxaca, our journey culminates in the picturesque Barrio de Xochimilco.

Join us on an immersive Walking Tour of Oaxaca de Juárez, where a team of expert Local Hosts guides you through this vibrant city on a historical and cultural journey spanning over 492 years from a post-colonial perspective. Our tour connects geography, economy, culture, history, and politics with the captivating murals, engravings, and street art that fill the streets of Oaxaca, offering a deep dive into the local heritage.

We start our walking tour in the Jalatlaco neighborhood, a historic area that was once on the outskirts of the city and now showcases the evolution of Oaxaca’s urban landscape. As we move towards the heart of Oaxaca's Historic Center, you’ll experience the city’s transformation and how it has adapted to the unique geography of the Oaxaca Valley. Along the way, we make stops at key historical sites and urban art pieces that reflect the rich culture and community spirit of Oaxaca.

Our tour concludes in a charming 17th-century house, where you can explore both the exterior and interior of traditional Oaxacan homes, each filled with history and character. This Walking Tour of Oaxaca provides a contextualized and enriching experience, allowing you to connect deeply with the city's art, history, and vibrant cultural landscape.
