Moderate activity

Get a feel for how local people live and work on this wonderful off-the-beaten-track half-day excursion. Designed to provide you with a glimpse into traditional Mexican life, you will first explore Piedra de Moros, a community kitchen surrounded by a small cultivation of nopales (the healthy and tasty prickly pear cactus) with the opportunity to try some of its many different forms of preparation and where you´ll also learn how to make perfect tortillas before tasting them. A demonstration on how handmade clay bricks are done form scratch will be shown by a local artisan as well. Move on to a medicinal plants garden to observe a wide variety of healing herbs, citrus and banana trees. See how the famous Teotitlan del Valle rugs are made in an interesting demonstration at Vicente Guerrero community and shop for embroidered items before we continue on to Rancho Tangolunda where a former family that inhabited Huatulco will share tamales with you before heading back to port as you enjoy the stunning Sierra Madre mountain range in the distance.

Special Notes:

One mile of the roads traveled are dirt. Dress in light clothes and bring adequate sun protection. The order in which we visit the communities can be changed due to operational purposes.
