We had an amazing day in a zapotec village.
Everything was adjusted to our wishes (where needed).
We were picked up in Oaxaca, the family in the village cooked for us on a fireplace and we learned a lot during the whole day. Everyone we met was extremely friendly and it was a very personalized experience. Highly recommend!
Authentic Zapotec town and mezcal tour
Ravinder_H, May 2022
Cesar provided an amazing experience. If you are looking for an authentic day with someone who is willing to share his culture, his home, his community and do so with an open heart you couldn’t ask for more. Cesar is an excellent steward of Zapotec community and is trying change things for the better. The personal, artisanal mezcal your, the meals with his family and community members were all excellent. Thank you, Cesar
Our Best Day In Oaxaca!

Cesar was a fantastic guide, while his family and everyone we met during the day were absolutely great and so welcoming. Seeing the distilleries was a very interesting experience, and even better to see it done on a smaller scale with the best quality mezcal we have ever had. Food was fantastic, mezcal was brilliant. Highly highly recommend!
la calidad humana del pueblo zapoteco
Marcelo_R, Jan 2024
Una de las experiencias mas maravillosas en mi viaje a Oaxaca. Cesar no solo fue un anfitrión, de la mano de su familia me enseñó que la calidad humana del pueblo zapoteco no conoce fronteras. Cada momento que viví en San Dionisio me sentí parte de su comunidad.
Mostrándome, integrándome a su vida diarias. Desde el desayuno hasta el compartir el mezcal entre amigos.
Muy recomendado para todos aquellos que quieran llevarse un recuerdo imborrable de Oaxaca y su maravillosa gente.
