Tour 2: Mitla

Mitla is one of the many well-preserved archeological sites of the Oaxaca Valley, where the dry climate has conserved sites as old as 10,000 years. We’ll travel to Teotitlán del Valle, a world renown town of textiles, especially rugs, which are hand-woven on looms with pedals made with wool obtained from local sheep and dyed mainly with natural products. We’ll stop to see Santa María El Tule, an ancient tree which has the stoutest trunk of any tree in the world. The tour will end with a beautiful lunch at Rancho Zapata, a restaurant that specializes in the traditional foods of Oaxaca
