Street Art Walk

Guided Walk: 5 km / Fitness level: Easy / Group Size: Up to 12 people

 

WHAT YOU’LL DO

Join us at 9:00 a.m. at the Coyote Aventuras office. After introductions and getting to know each other a little, we’ll head out to explore the living museum that is Oaxaca’s urban art scene.

Our street art walk in Oaxaca offers a vibrant tour through the cultural soul of the city, where colorful murals and captivating graffiti adorn its streets. Starting in the historic center, you’ll be immersed in a kaleidoscope of artistic expression. We’ll begin our walk along Calle Alcalá, where striking murals showcase Oaxaca’s indigenous heritage and social struggles.

As we wander through the streets, we’ll show you hidden alleys and unexpected corners where hidden gems of street art await discovery. From the bustling Benito Juárez markets to the peaceful patios of Jalatlaco, each neighborhood offers its own unique canvas for local and international artists to leave their mark. Along the way, we’ll take the time to interact with the local community, many of whom are deeply involved in the creation and preservation of Oaxaca’s street art scene. Whether you’re an art enthusiast, a cultural explorer, or just a curious traveler, this walk promises an unforgettable experience full of creativity and inspiration. We’ll also visit a local gallery, an essential form of Oaxacan cultural expression since the 1970s, driven by the master Francisco Toledo.

We’ll take you back to the Coyote Aventuras office at 1:00 p.m. after a full morning of learning about Oaxaca’s important historical and social movements through its urban art.

STEP BY STEP

FIRST

Pick Up + Welcome

Arrival in Oaxaca de Juárez. Private airport transfer with your bike included. Check in, unwind, and settle into the rhythm of Oaxaca. In the evening, we gather for a welcome dinner—fresh local food, mezcal, warm music, and introductions. The tone is set: relaxed, vibrant, and real.

SECOND

Arriving at Hierve el Agua

We head into the mountains of the Sierra Norte. Shuttle to the top and drop into long, raw enduro descents. Mil Ríos deliver natural flow, roots, rocks, and speed—true backcountry riding shaped by time, not machines. Big elevation, hero dirt, and smiles all day long.

THIRD

Hiking

We start the day with a visit to Monte Albán, walking through one of the most powerful ancient cities in the Americas. Stone temples, open plazas, and sweeping valley views set the context for what makes Oaxaca so special.

In the afternoon, we head into the mountains of San Gabriel Etla and ride until sunset—golden light, warm air, and long trails rolling toward the valley. A perfect balance of culture, movement, and enduro flow.

FOURTH

MEZCAL DISTILLERY

Today is epic. We start high in the mountains at 3,100 meters above sea level and drop all the way down to Oaxaca City at 1,600 meters. Long, continuous descents through pine forests, changing climates, and ancient terrain.

This is the kind of ride you travel the world for—big elevation, natural trails, and a sense of journey from mountain to city.

FIFTH

MEZCAL

We do it again—another massive descent from the high mountains straight into Oaxaca. Different lines, new textures, and more flow.

From cool mountain air to warm valley vibes, this day defines Oaxaca enduro: long, raw, and deeply immersive. Ride until your hands are tired and your face hurts from smiling.
