This 10-day model plan, which takes you through Oaxaca—the Mexican city ranked number one among tourist destinations—and the nearby beach resort of Puerto Escondido, offers a special experience where you can fully indulge in the rich culture and natural beauty of Mexico.
Your journey begins in Oaxaca, a city filled with colonial architecture and vibrant markets, where a variety of cultural experiences await—including visits to traditional pottery and weaving workshops, local cuisine workshops, ancient ruins, and mystical mountains.
In the second half of your trip, you'll head to Puerto Escondido, a Pacific coast resort whose name means 'Hidden Port.' This seaside paradise offers a variety of exciting water activities and breathtaking natural scenery. On a tour of Lagunas de Chacahua National Park, you'll explore the lagoons by boat, travel through mangrove forests and winding waterways, and even dive into the sea to experience the healing and exfoliating effects of natural sulfur-rich mud. Enjoy local cuisine and stunning sunsets for a truly liberating escape from everyday life.
During your 10-day stay, you'll be able to fully immerse yourself in Mexico's rich culture, cuisine, and nature with all five senses.
