What To Expect

Modern Adventures are designed to showcase the best of a destination, and promote community, sharing and celebration. We thoughtfully curate all elements for an immersive, diverse experience—but you'll still have some free time to relax and soak in the atmosphere.

The Oaxaca Experience

Get ready for a four-day exploration of Oaxaca! We'll immerse ourselves in culture, community, history, mezcal and cuisine. We’ll tour markets, learn from locals the traditions mezcal production, experiencing it all together. Our adventure features plenty of food, incredible walking tours, hands-on food experiences and tastings — and, of course, time to relax.

What We'll Do

Marvel at Oaxaca’s colorful food markets and agave farms. Taste rich mole sauces, spiced chocolate, street tacos—even toasted grasshoppers! Dive deep into mezcal with a fourth-generation mezcalero, and meet the people who know who to make it best. Experience Oaxacan traditions, its vibrant art scene and culture.

Daily Flow

Our Modern Adventure to Oaxaca is well-paced and packs in so many incredible experiences— yet it’s not without leisure time to explore the region yourself, or simply to unwind and relax. While our activities each day will vary, the cadence remains about the same, with most days starting between 8:30 and 9am, and finishing around 4pm, then reconvening for dinner around 7pm.

Food & Drink

Our trips feature a range of dining experiences, designed to showcase the breadth and local flavors of the places we visit. We’ll sample a delicious array of Oaxacan cuisine, both traditional and modern: rich mole sauces, spiced chocolate, street tacos—even toasted chapulines (grasshoppers). Oaxaca is home to some of Mexico’s most innovative kitchens; the restaurant scene here is second to none.

All meals (except for those during your free time) are covered in the cost of your experience. Select beer, wine and spirits may be served with some group meals.

Special Dietary Needs

Traveling with dietary restrictions or allergies can be a challenge, but we’re here to help. Prior to your departure, we’ll send you a questionnaire where you can inform us of any special dietary needs you have. Depending on the information you give us, we will work with our in-country partners to adjust menus and be aware of allergies and restrictions on our trip. We kindly request that any changes are based on need rather than preference, as we work hard to curate an exceptional dining experience that is thoughtful and representative of the local culture and flavors.

Traveling as a Group

Group travel is an intimate, empowering and fun way to learn about yourself and others. Like any good relationship, it thrives with respect. We ask that every guest honors the key times in a day to ensure everyone's experience is the absolute best it can be. This is everyone's adventure! We also appreciate that time is precious. Every trip incorporates a mix of guided and free time for optimal exploration. But if you’re looking for more time on your own, please let your trip leader know and they can advise the best times to do this.

Our experiences are fun and inclusive and you can expect to be joined by a diverse group in terms of age, background and interests—including solo travelers, couples and friends traveling together.
