The Oaxaca Trip
Foodie • Cultural • First Solo Trip
Welcome to Oaxaca!
5 Days / 4 Nights
Starting At $1,999
Up To 16
Our small group trip to Oaxaca caters to solo travelers in their 20s and 30s looking for ancient history in Monte Albán and delicious Oaxacan cuisine on every street corner.
On this five-day expedition through rugged southwestern Mexico, you’ll discover a region brimming with color where lively festivals and some of the nation’s friendliest locals fill the streets. You’ll hike the Sierra Madres one day and devour Oaxacan food like tlayudas, tamales, and mole the next.
This is a different kind of Mexico, one far removed from the well-trodden tourist trail, focused on local life and traditions passed down for more than 1,000 years.

Day 1 – Oaxaca City
Welcome to Oaxaca!
Check into your hotel nestled in Old Havana and grab a drink with your travel crew.
In the afternoon, we’ll head out on a walking tour where you’ll get your first taste of architecture so significant it earned a spot on UNESCO’s World Heritage List. Continue on and give a mojito a go—the local favorite and Cuban national drink has been a staple on these lively shores for centuries.
That night, we’ll all head out together to grab some dinner and check out local live music in one of the neighborhood's trendiest spots.
Arrive
Fly into Oaxaca City (OAX)
Arrive by 2pm on day 1 and grab a cab to the hotel. (Pro tip: look into roundtrip flights to Mexico City and then take a domestic flight to Oaxaca City to save some $$). We do recommend flying in earlier to have some time to explore the city on your own!
