OAXACA CITY
ANCIENT TRADITIONS ALIVE
-
Sitting in a valley, Oaxaca City offers stellar panoramic views of the surrounding mountains from anywhere in the city. Its colonial buildings, decorated with contrasting colors and green sandstone, set the stage for imposing baroque churches and convents, bustling markets, intricate arts and textiles, and an exquisitely complex cuisine with roots as old as the archeological sites around the city.
Home to 16 of the 56 indigenous groups in Mexico, Oaxaca is the most ethnically diverse state in the country. During our 7-day, 6-night immersion trip, we will venture into the heart of Oaxacan culture in a way only locals know how. We will dine at both high-end restaurants and street and market stands to experience the regional specialties as well as the more modern chef interpretations. We will also visit some of the smaller surrounding towns for an up-close look at traditions untainted by modernity. This will allow us to marvel at a variety of local arts and crafts, which are a testimony of the dexterity and talent of artisans who have, generation after generation, inherited and perfected the techniques to make textiles, ceramics from various clays, jewelry, and alebrijes.

MEXICO CITY
WHERE WORLDS COLLIDE
-
In Mexico City, or Ciudad de México (CDMX), modernity intertwines with vestiges of the Aztec Empire and a dynamic culture that can be witnessed in the fiber of the everyday. From its innumerable museums to its energetic culinary scene, which ranges from the humble pleasures of street food to the most elevated epicurean experiences, this city has it all.
During our 7-day, 6-night immersion trip, we will dive into the old and new, experiencing the ever-changing traditions of the city in a way only locals know how to. We will be eating in all sorts of venues—from upscale restaurants to street stands—tasting the mix of flavors that result from the clashing of various cultures, comparing the traditional with the more modern chef driven interpretations, and gaining a full picture of Mexico City’s current culinary landscape.

Step back into a time of boulevards lined with stately mansions and haciendas with luscious gardens in Mérida, the capital city of Yucatán state, which mixes colonial grandeur with a strong Mayan history. Even with Condé Nast naming Mérida as one of the best cities in the world to visit, it has remained largely under the radar for travelers. Until recently, that is, as artists and creatives have been transforming grand houses into boutique hotels, restaurants, and cafés.
For our epicurean tour, our home base will be a luxury boutique hotel in the most prestigious boulevard of Mérida. From there, we’ll be perfectly set to explore several of the surrounding towns such as the Yellow City of Izamal and the colonial gem of Valladolid. We will dine at upscale restaurants, market and street stands, and the private homes of local cooks to experience street food, home cooking, and modern chef interpretations. This is a 7-day, 6-night immersion trip where we will dive deep into the cultural and culinary traditions of Yucatán.
