Overview
Yes! We're the tours you saw on TV! We have been eating delicious food in the market for more than 7 years with travelers who always take the best gastronomic and human experience in the market. You'll eat: Tamales, chapulines, ants, stones (yes!, stones!) quesadillas with pumpkin blossom, horchata water, seasonal fruits, barbecue tacos, jams, mezcal tasting, shingle and much more! Discover the heart of Oaxaca through our gastronomic tour at the Central de Abastos. We have guided more than 700 groups, all with 5-star ratings on another platform and have appeared on television for our conscious and authentic approach. Travel is also eating with sense.
