Cities Visited

Mexico City , Oaxaca , Puebla

  1. Day 1
    Mexico City
    Bienvenidos! Welcome to Mexico. Your adventure begins with an important welcome meeting at 6 pm tonight. Consider arriving a few days early to see all that Mexico City has to offer. If you do arrive early, why not use your free time to check out this incredible city at your own pace – wander the array of museums, galleries and architecture or check out the nightlife and delicious street food. Head to Chapultepec, the city's huge central park, to visit one of the numerous museums, or relax in one of the many plazas and gardens. If you’ve gotten in early to book your ticket, you may like to visit the Frida Kahlo Museum. After meeting your group and leader tonight, perhaps head out for a group dinner.
  2. Day 2
    Mexico City
    Today, your leader will show you around the historic city centre. Visit Zocalo Square – a prominent central meeting place since Aztec times – and soak up the sound of rapid-fire Spanish and booming drums that fill the vast space. Pass by the dome-topped Palacio de Bellas Artes and consider paying the entrance fee to get in and wander around. Stop to see some murals painted by the famed Diego Rivera. You can spend the afternoon doing whatever takes your fancy, as the rest of the fay is free. Maybe sit down for lunch at a fonda (a home that a family has opened to the local community as a restaurant). You can usually grab a delicious meal for less than 5 USD!
    Meals:   Breakfast
  3. Day 3
    Puebla
    After breakfast this morning, learn the local lingo with an informal Spanish lesson on the way to Puebla, as your leader teaches you a few basic words and some local expressions to help you get the most out of your trip. Along the way, you’ll stop at the UNESCO World Heritage site of Teotihuacan – an archaeological site that predated the Aztec Empire by more than a thousand years! Then join a local family for an included lunch before continuing on to Puebla – known for its culinary history, architecture, pottery and the painted Talavera tiles that adorn buildings here. When you arrive, head out for an orientation walk to get your bearings. Tonight, head out for an optional group dinner after joining your leader for a drink at La Pasita Bar. Pasita is a sweet liqueur made of raisins, served in a caballito (tequila glass) and decorated with a cube of fresh goat cheese and a raisin stuck on a toothpick. This bar is particularly famous because of its way of serving the pasita.
    Meals:   Breakfast   Dinner
  4. Day 4
    Puebla
    Today is free for you to explore at your own pace. Maybe check out one of the many well-maintained churches and buildings or go for a hike near one of the area's looming volcanoes. Puebla is also Mexico’s culinary capital, so you could also head out to indulge in some street food. If the season is right, try some chiles en nogada (stuffed chillies covered in creamy walnut sauce).
  5. Day 5
    Oaxaca
    Get cosy with the locals as you travel by local bus to Oaxaca – this is a great time to crack a book or take a nap! Stretch your legs with an orientation walk when you arrive. Oaxaca is an old colonial town full of graceful arcades and colourful markets. After your walk, you’ll tour the 20 de Noviembre Market, where you'll do as the locals and head to the Pasillo de las Carnes Asadas (the grilled meats aisle). Follow your nose (and your leader) to find it – smoke and the smell of grilled meat is thick in the air. You can even select the raw meat that looks best to you, and have it grilled how you like it! Grab some guacamole, salsa and some fresh tortillas on the way and then find a spot at one of the long tables where you’ll sit down for a classic Oaxacan lunch.
    Meals:   Dinner
  6. Day 6
    Oaxaca
    This morning, you’ll visit the nearby archaeological site of Monte Alban. A UNESCO World Heritage site, this place was inhabited for over 1500 years by the Olmecs, Zapotecs and Mixtecs. The terraces, dams, canals, pyramids and artificial mounds of Monte Alban were literally carved out of the mountain and are now the symbols of a sacred topography. After, head to a local barro negro, or black pottery studio. See a demonstration of how the famed black pottery (or pottery of the night) is made and learn about the history of this artform – legend says that the clay is blessed! Head back to your hotel this afternoon, and if you have the energy, soak up the atmosphere and enjoy Oaxaca’s nightlife.
  7. Day 7
    Oaxaca
    Today is a free day to explore Oaxaca at your own pace. Why not try your hand at whipping up the local cuisine with a cooking class, or venture to Hierve el Agua – a group of stunning natural rock formations where the minerals resemble cascading waterfalls. Maybe opt for a day tour of the Mitla archaeological site and visit a Teotitlan weaving town and mezcal distillery on the way. Alternatively, enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of the streets and take the opportunity to feast on some regional delicacies, including banana-leaf-wrapped tamales and spicy baked chilli and lime grasshoppers usually sold by the lovely old ladies of the markets. Depending on the season, a folkloric ballet performance is also a great option.
  8. Day 8
    Oaxaca
    Your adventure comes to an end this morning. If you would like to spend some more time in Oaxaca, just speak to your booking agent.

I had a wonderful experience during the culinary journey in Morroco. I experienced the beauty of Morroco and its wonderfual and hospitable people. Our guide, Tariq Hammoudi, was a great guide and provided us with valuable information and advice along the way. The countryside and desert were absolutely stunning. The desert visit was the highlight of the trip for me. I took many photos which I shared with friends and family, and all of them expressed amazement and envy that I was actually vacationing in this wonderful country.

Everything was wonderful but the Itinerary spelled out we would be staying in Refugio Domo Francis and Refugio Torre Central, but we ended up staying in the tents. We did not hear that until the night of the tour meeting. That is a mis-representation of the accommodations and cost. I understand why they might not have been available because those accommodations are limited, but you should put in the itinerary that the tour most likely stays in tents (with a photo). The itinerary also does not say that the dinner at the Camping Francis will be a box dinner sitting on the floor. The experience was wonderful but you should not promise a refugio if it is not available. The Camping at Francis was wonderful.

Intrepid is awesome. Our guide was superb. Everything went smoothly!

Our tour guide was wonderful. She was knowledgeable, fun, energetic, and made our week run very smoothly. The trip itself was fantastic! We saw a lot and the islands are absolutely beautiful. Great food, great new friends made on the tour, and would absolutely book with Intrepid again.

Intrepid tour is great company. Will use this company again.

The trip was both both educational and exciting. I very much enjoyed the sights and culture.

The itinerary was just as I expected! The guide was very good as were the accomodations

Intrepid did such a great job. I never had to worry about where I was supposed to be and it felt so good not to worry about a thing but just to enjoy myself. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about culture and history.

Taiwan people very friendly. Accommodation were centrally located and easily accessible. Did extra activities then in brochure which was greatly.

Larus our tour guide did an excellent job and was very attentive to our needs. He is very knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor.

Our guide Tarang chandola was exceptional. Courteous, knowledgeable, organized, polite, professional and went above and beyond taking care of our needs and requests offen anticipating what that might be. He made sure we all had the best possible time and offered suggestions to meet the needs of everyone on the tour. This made the trip even more enjoyable.
