About this trip

The Mexico Culture trip is a 3-week immersion into the heart of Oaxaca — a city bursting with color, flavor, and tradition. From ancient Zapotec roots to vibrant markets and mezcal rituals, Oaxaca will awaken your senses.


This trip blends remote work, cultural exploration, and nature getaways — a true celebration of Mexico’s creative soul.

Oaxaca in October is MAGICAL!!! It’s the month of Day of the Dead, and although the trip ends on October 24, you’ll still be able to feel the vibe. If you’d like to extend your stay (on your own), we can help connect you with one of our accommodation partners.

Overview

This three-week journey, from Saturday, October 3 to Saturday, October 24, begins and ends in Oaxaca City, one of Mexico’s most colorful and culturally rich destinations. Known for its vibrant markets, traditional crafts, and world-famous cuisine, Oaxaca blends deep-rooted tradition with creative energy.
