TOUR FOR 2 v THE OAXACA REGION OF MEXICO

oaxaca1 

oax evening  

Immerse yourself in this fantastic 4-day active experience that introduces you to a special region of Mexico, ringed by rugged mountains and having one of the largest indigenous populations in Mexico. Oaxacan heritage runs deep, from its famous markets and handicrafts, to its fascinating archaeological sites, to its famed local cuisine (especially mole, a smoky, spicy regional specialty with seemingly endless variations). A visit here is a study in contrasts-the state of Oaxaca boasts an exceptionally diverse range of ethnic groups and environmental zones, while the city is both a Colonial masterpiece and Mexico's most important hub of contemporary art. The highly regarded eco-tour adventure company, MOUNTAIN TRAVEL SOBEK is contributing this auction item through one of its principles, Tom Lee. MTS, who has operated tours in this part of Mexico for many years, notes the tour is ideal for active travelers who want to explore both the natural and cultural wonders of Oaxaca. You'll visit the evocative ancient Ruins of Monte Albán and Mitla, learn how traditional crafts are made, and hike through the varied ecosystem of the Sierra Norte, known by locals as the "Village of the Clouds.  It's a journey as multi-faceted and captivating as Oaxaca itself.    All expenses paid, EXCEPT airfare.
