Where the Ancient and Modern Meet

Oaxaca Reborn

Sep 21 - 25, 2024

The Oaxaca they want to sell you is just one of the many Oaxacas that are now thriving, jostling, and innovating in this future-facing region with roots deeper than time. Not just any tour for any travellers, our League of Travelers adventure in Oaxaca is an expression of the beautiful world of Ana Paulina Garcia. She’ll bring us into her life of creative chefs and distillers and artists—new visionaries in an ancient culture—with the League veteran Alejo Sabugo as her co-host.
