Day 3 began with a journey back in time to the pre-historic caves of Mitla. We explored 5 different caves and saw ancient artifacts used for cooking and hunting and some of the earliest recorded writings of the Zapotecs. In one of the caves we were able to join in on a ritualistic Zapotec ceremony of gratitude where we constructed an offering of flowers, corn, beans, and incense.
Before heading to lunch we stopped by El Jaguar, a community seed bank created to ensure the preservation of the crops native to the area.
We ended the day with a tour of a local family’s farm where we saw the harvest and production of mezcal from the agave plant. Following the demonstration, we joined the family in their garden to pick the herbs and vegetables we used in our cooking class.
We ended the day with full hearts and fully bellies!

Today’s adventures started out at the Zapotec ruins at Monte Alban. It was named this by the archaeologists because of the white flowers that grew on the mountains. This ancient city was home to about 30,000 inhabitants of one of the oldest cultures in Mesoamerica and spanned 5 different mountain ranges.

After exploring the ruins, the group grabbed a fabulous lunch at a Michelin Star restaurant called Almú, before heading to the alebrije workshop of Jacobo y María Ángeles where they learned the history and the construction process of these beautiful spirit animals. They wrapped up the tour by getting to design their very own alebrijes!

After a delay in Dallas this group started the afternoon with a walking tour of historic Oaxaca with Coyote Aventuras. From the gold adorned Centro Cultural Santo Domingo, to the market at the zocalo, to the convents that were converted into schools after the Reform, this beautiful city is composed of not only these beautiful sites to behold, but also a cultural melting pot of 16 different dialects. They wrapped up a long day of travel with a taste of Oaxaca at La Popular where travelers were able to sample ceviche, one of the various types of mole, tlayudas, and several other delicious food from the area.

The visit provided insight into Japan’s industrial development and technological advancement over the past century.
