Guelaguetza Oaxaca City Guided Walking Tour - All Included
Overview
Available languages
10 hours
Mobile ticket
DISCLAIMER
We do not sell tickets to The Guelaguetza taking place in el Cerro del Fortín.
La Guelaguetza takes place in Oaxaca city, but there are other Guelaguetzas held in various villages throughout the valley. These more informal celebrations of the Guelaguetza probably bear more resemblance to the way the festival was originally celebrated. This is not so much a show, but a time for people to come together and enjoy one another’s presence, their culture and food. The Guelaguetza lasts for several hours and here people come and go throughout the presentation. The Guelaguetza is a festival of music, costumes, dances, and food, but it’s also a celebration of the mutual interdependence of people within a community.
In these days of Guelaguetza we will be showing the most beautiful and important places and festivities in Oaxaca, mixing the tours that we already have organized with the most important party of the year in Oaxaca, visiting the Guelaguetza in its most original form.

What To Expect
Oaxaca
Join us on an exploration of vibrant Oaxaca through the streets, markets and celebrated landmarks of the city center. Taking in plazas, historic buildings, local legends, exquisite architecture and of course the fascinating world of Oaxaca’s markets. Strolling around the streets of Oaxaca will open your appetite, and so we will make a stop in La Cosecha Market. It is open air and very clean as opposed to the main city markets and was setup to showcase the food from different regions of the state, which you can choose from the different vendors that surround a common eating area. To finish the day, we will drive to a nearby community where you will dive in the Guelaguetza event, where you will be able to watch the traditional festival, filled with dances and stunning textiles from different Oxacan regions.

Guelaguetza heaven

5.00This tour was a very special insight into Mexican culture and a privilege to witness Guelaguetza. But most impactful was the quality of the hosts Carlos and Jorge. My tour group asked hundreds of questions throughout the day and they answered with passion and insight that will make you wish you had more time to spend in Mexico. Especially if you ask them about Mezcal 😊. Thank you for the very special memories I'll take back home.

5.00I returned to Oaxaca and did not hesitate to choose Mexico Kan Tours to live the colors and folklore of the Guelaguetza, an unparalleled experience, in the heart of a community where you can still feel the vibe of rituals and taste all kinds of Oaxacan cravings in an amazing place full of flavors and gastronomic diversity. Definitely the best of my choices. You cannot miss this tour.
Must do experience !
