Old Huatulco And Mexico Traditions

Huatulco's surrounding communities are no exceptions if you want to take a piece of Mexico back home! Begin your tour in the small town named Piedra de Moros, where you'll visit the medicinal plants and herbs. Receive a brief explanation of their names and which diseases they can cure. Taste a refreshing tea of lemon herb and see the traditional way of making "tortillas" and bread. Learn the use of "Nopal" (Cactus) and sample all these traditional Mexican products. Your next stop will be Santa Maria, here you'll visit its beautiful church that was built on the 17th Century. Visit local blacksmith´s artisanal shop with more than a century old, and where nowadays working tools are made with recycled materials. Then, stop by a Rustic Mezcal Factory where the elaborated process of distillation of this traditional Oaxaca´s beverage will be shown as well as the different uses of the "Maguey" plant. Return to your ship with memories of real lifestyles of Mexican Communities. Note: Participants under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult. Guest must be in good health. Not recommended for pregnant women. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes. Bring sun screen and cash as credit cards are not accepted in the small towns.

Best Guide EVER!
We were really fortunate to have such a great tour guide "Speedy". She gave us local information as well as historical facts. We never felt rushed or pressured (to spite her nickname) at any of our stops along the way. The medicinal herb garden was great. Saw the plant that loofahs come from...grown on a family co-op farm. Served local cuisine and hibiscus water. A trip well worth the taking. We were delighted
