Mezcal Makers

We visit a small and non-commercialized palenque, a mezcal factory, in Santa Catarina Minas, a small village at an hours’ drive from Oaxaca. Here we will see the plantations where the agave is grown, and if we’re lucky we will even find a palenquero showing us the harvesting process (this depends on if there are agaves ready to be harvested, so it will not always be the case). We will get a tour at the factory where you will learn about the different types of mezcal and how it is made. The tour includes a mezcal tasting and lunch at the palenque. An English speaking guide tells you all about the history and customs related to the drinking of mezcal, so you will get a close understanding of how important and all-present this drink is in the daily life of the Oaxacan people, especially in the traditional communities.

The Zapotec town of San Bartolo Coyotepec is known for its century long production of black pottery, but there is so much more to discover. On this tour, we will show you how an indigenous, Zapotec community works. You will get an in-depth knowledge of the social order, where the administrative power goes hand in hand with the ceremonial and religious one, something very common in the indigenous Latin American culture. You will learn about the values and traditions of the community and the way they work together in economic activities, with a major focus on sustainable and eco-friendly development. The tour is led by antropologist Leopoldo Meyer.
