We will share coffee, bread and hot chocolate with them, while they tell us about the traditions and stories of this beautiful town Teotitlán is a small village located 31 km east from Oaxaca City. The name Teotitlán comes from the indigenous language, Nahuatl, which means “land of the gods.”

After we will drive up the hill on a dirt road leading up to the town, Benito Juárez, to begin the 18km scenic bike descent towards the historic center of Teotitlán. Amazing natural views await you during this joyful ride down the mountain.

Teotitlan’s main square has a beautiful plaza, a charming church and artisanal craft shops, where you can observe some of Teotitlan’s traditional zapotec rugs and other arts and crafts.

A few blocks away, Josefina and her family will be waiting for us to serve lunch with traditional local dishes such as, mole and memelitas. In this same space, the family has their textile workshop where they will demonstrate their incredible artisanal skills.
