First-person travel

A trip should not only bring you to a fascinating place, but bring you closer to the people who call that place home. We believe first-person travel means learning directly from the people you meet, hearing their stories and seeing their homeland through their unique perspective. We strive to amplify the voices of the people we meet in Oaxaca, support their vision for their home community, and create opportunities for growth and prosperity through the work we do.

First-person travel in Oaxaca means we arrive curious, make time to ask meaningful questions, and take to heart the answers we receive. We create lasting personal connections for our guests, always with respect for the people and places we encounter together. Part of our intention is to break down boundaries between people, dispel misconceptions and look beneath the surface wherever we go. We do that by asking people to tell us more about their lives, families and the traditions that bind them to Oaxaca.

Oaxaca offers visitors the chance to truly experience a different way of traveling. You can go a little slower, follow a backroad, and find yourself somewhere delightfully unexpected. Along the way you can meet incredible people who will share their stories with you, and be eager to know more about you and your life. We see travel as an act of peace and lasting connection, and invite you to join us on the journey of a lifetime.
