Oaxaca: Authentic Mexico: Food & Festivals
Named one of the Top Ten Cities in the Americas by Condé Nast Traveler Magazine, Oaxaca, Mexico owes its fame to its lively traditions and colorful festivals, to its arts and crafts, generous hospitality and culinary genius, and to its colonial architecture and extensive ruins (not to mention its year-round spring-like climate).
Austin Lehman's Oaxaca tours are designed to coincide with major religious holidays and local celebrations. Welcome the spirits with delicious foods and paper puppets on the "Dia de los Muertos," the Day of the Dead. Celebrate the Nativity on "Noche Buena," the "Holy Night." Meet world-acclaimed artists at work in their studios and enjoy exclusive demonstrations. Try your hand at the traditional cuisine of Oaxaca during a private cooking class. Hike backcountry canyon trails to waterfalls and forest overlooks. Bike country roads past farms, villages and churches. And top off your day with a cold beverage, a hearty local meal and a restful night's sleep at an exquisite hotel, resort, hacienda or villa.
There's a reason why Austin Lehman's Oaxaca Adventure Vacation was voted one of the Top 25 Best New Adventures of 2006 by National Geographic Adventure Magazine – come see for yourself why.
