Experience the only tour in Oaxaca inspired by Nacho Libre!

Explore real-life settings from the film as you immerse yourself in the history, culture and magic of Oaxaca.

It begins at the charming Church of Las Peñitas, where Nacho found his faith (and his style!).

Follow Monte Albán, the Zapotec jewel where the epic final scene was recorded.

In a handcrafted palenque, discover the ritual of mezcal, used in the film to “consecrate the soul”.

Then, in Teotitlan, learn how artisans transform wool with natural pigments — the blue that Nacho must have worn in his suit!

And to close, visit the mythical aqueduct where Nacho and Esquel lived unforgettable moments.

It’s more than a tour, it’s an adventure between cinema, tradition and laughter!

    My son is a Nacho Libre fan and this tour did not disappoint. Our tour guide, Edmundo, picked up on this so continued to show us short clips of the movie as we hit 3 movie related stops within our tour. We started off by seeing the church from the movie where Nacho’s clothes catch fire. The town was celebrating an annual town celebration so we were able to get some local food only footsteps away from the church. Next we stopped by Monte Alban where we were able to climb the ruins just like Nacho did at the end of the movie. We wanted to recreate two scenes from the movie and with the help of Edmundo we were able to do just that- when Nacho climb up the top of the ruin as well as a family picture with part of the ruin in the background. The textile workshop was engaging and we were fully immersed in learning about the culture of this town, their customs, the making of candles, the meaning behind the textile color and patterns, and how each color is extracted from nature. We each were able to create a flower petal from bees wax, handle three different natural elements on the palm of our hands to see how three different colors are created and used in dying the lamb wool, separate wool fibers, as well as help in the textile weaving technique. Next we stopped by a mezcal distillery where we were walked through the entire process. We were able to taste a piece of the agave heart that had been cooked in partial underground oven last week- it reminded us of sugar cane and was very sweet. Next we were able to taste a bit of sweet agave syrup. Lastly we got to sample 9 different kinds of mezcal. The guide there was great, informative, and had a great sense of humor. Lastly we stopped at the place where Nacho confronted Esqueleto and once again took several pictures and videos. On our way back, we were dropped off by the Church of Santo Domingo where our tour guide recommended several place to eat as well as informed us that we would be able to experience several weddings while walking around the area. The tour was informative and engaging. I would highly recommend it as well as this company. They were prompt, communicative, patient, and knowledgeable.

    Stop searching and just book with Junior. He was so Professional, punctual, and incredibly passionate about Oaxaca. Junior tailored the day to our interests, navigated the city like a pro, and gave us recommendations for dinner that were better than anything we found online. Not only did Junior show us the sights; he made us fall in love with the city. Junior clearly has a great relationship with the local vendors, which made the whole experience feel authentic and welcoming. Don’t bother with the big tour buses; this is the real deal. If you want to go beyond the surface-level tourist spots, you have to book a tour with Junoir. I 100% recommend this tour with. 10/10!

    Wow, what an experience. This tour has everything: sights, culture, mezcal, worms and of course - Nacho Libre. Going to see the iconic locations from one of my all-time favourite movies was amazing. But it wouldn't have been nearly as impactful without our fabulous tour guide, Jaun, who really brought the whole experience to life with his enthusiasm and vast knowledge of the area. Easily one of the best days I had on my trip to Mexico, and I'll be recommending it to anyone who plans to visit :)

  • An incredible tour

    What an experience. I went with my family and it was easily the best day of our whole trip. My family and I are all big fans of the film, so to see these places was amazing. Beyond this however the elements of the trip beyond the film were also incredible, we managed to fit in so much fun stuff, seeing many facets of what Oaxaca offers. Juan was a legend; insightful, funny, kind, knowledgable and unbelievably accommodating. I could not imagine a better guide. He was such a fun and cohesive part of this wonderful day with my family.

  • A truly brilliant experience. Big up Juan!

    This tour was without doubt the absolute highlight of our trip. Can’t praise Juan enough, he was the most AMAZING, endearing, engaging and knowledgeable guide, and his English was fluent and excellent. He made the day super interactive and fun, and we also learned loads of interesting facts about Mexican history and culture. If you are fans of Nacho Libre - or even if you’re not - I’d strongly advise a tour with Juan. We all had a brilliant day, just so good. 🤩🙌

  • A fantastic fun day for Nacho fans

    We just had the best day with Juan and David our driver. We are big fans of Nacho Libre and had so much fun visiting the sites and even recreating scenes from the film (and who knew we would become TikTok sensations?). But so much more than that, Juan is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the history and culture of Oaxaca and shared that with us in a fun and interesting way (and with perfect English). Could not recommend this tour or Juan more highly. Thanks for a fabulous day!
