Overview

This is an excellent opportunity to go away from the tourist areas and come to see a more authentic Oaxaca and enjoy the authentic gastronomy just the way locals do.
We approach the markets in Oaxaca in a respectful way. In the latests years there has been an increase of tours, chefs, influencers and personalities that come to the markets of Oaxaca with extraction and exotization purposes. Considering that Oaxaca is one of the states of Mexico with more poverty contrasts. We, all the guides are fully aware of these issues and focus on a culture sharing and encounter.

What To Expect

Mercado Margarita Maza de Juárez or better known as Mercado de Abastos is the biggest market in Oaxaca City. Located at South West on the city only 15 minutes walking distance from Zocalo

Thinking about exploring it by yourself could be challenging considering its extension -over 16 hectares-, and not talking about finding the best spots and stalls to discover the immense variety of food and drinks this market has to offer. During this tour that is exactly what we´ll be doing, walking all around eating and drinking its delicious food and drinks and also visiting the craft areas where local Maestros and Maestras Artesans offer their products directly from their workshops
