We'll pick you up from your hotel in Oaxaca and hit the road towards Ocotlán de Morelos, a municipality found 45 kilometres from the centre of the city.
We'll wander through the town's streets, discovering this traditional town, making our way to the Ocotlán Basilica, beautifully decorated in the neoclassical style.
We'll get to know the local market, where you can enjoy the typical delicacies of the region (not included), and we'll follow our route through the traditional square, where every Friday, Oaxaca's residents come to sell their artisanal wares. Here you can buy food, utensils, or textiles as you soak in the festival atmosphere and the music of the plaza.
