Day Tour: Artisan Villages

Indagare can arrange privately guided half-day and full-day tours to explore some of the pueblos villages surrounding Oaxaca City that are best known for their artisanal crafts and folk art specialties, like Cuilapan, Zaachila, Ocotlan, Jalieza and Coyotepec. Here, you'll meet the master artisans keeping these ancient traditions alive—from the famous Oaxacan black pottery to textiles-weaving and knife-making—and even get to visit them in their homes and studios. (Plus, don't miss a visit to the alebrije workshop of Jacob and Maria Angeles, whose colorful, fantastical wooden creatures helped inspire Pixar’s CoCo.) Along the way, stop to see local markets and historic sites like monasteries and churches.
