From Mitla to Teotitlán: The Spiritual Journey
De Mitla a Teotitlán: El Viaje Espiritual
The experience
A full-day private journey from Oaxaca City into the spiritual heart of the Zapotec world. We begin at a marigold flower field, continue to Mitla — the ancient Zapotec gateway to the spiritual world — then return to Teotitlán del Valle to learn about spiritual candle making, visit a family home altar with votive candles, cook and share a meal with a local family, discover traditional textiles and natural dyeing, and finish with artisanal spiritual mezcal before heading back to your hotel.
