Overview
Come with me, an art historian, to explore the Urban Mythology and Colonial Art in Oaxaca’s Historic Center. Guided by a compass that doesn’t point north, but to the past, and a vintage map marked with legends, symbols, and colonial architecture, we’ll begin an exploration through the city’s founding neighborhoods. Along the way, you’ll discover secrets carved into temples and haunted alleyways, following the traces left behind by those who lived in Oaxaca centuries ago. A unique experience for explorers of the invisible. By the end of the tour you will have mapped the city in a historical way, eaten an ice cream and learned some new ways to taste mezcal.
Meeting and Pickup
The meeting point is right in front of the main entrance of the Templo de Santo Domingo. On Macedonio Alcalá Street.
End Point
