We will go to your hotel to pick you up to start our tour. We will visit the Zapotec town of Santiago Matatlán, known as the world capital of mezcal. We will visit a mezcal palenque, where we learn about the process of making this mystical drink and how the process has been preserved from generation to generation. The palenque is decorated with murals of urban art, phrases and colors of evil of love. Our visit includes a Mezcal tasting and a walk through the Barriber, (a barrel-shaped truck) in which we will arrive at the agave field and enjoy music and a stop to learn about the process of making Pulque. In San Pablo Villa de Mitla is now one of the six magical towns of Oaxaca. There is the Archaeological Zone of Mitla, its name means "place of the dead", an impressive example of the Zapotec heritage due to its fretwork decoration that is still preserved.

  • 70440 Santiago Matatlan, Oaxaca, Mexico
    45 kilometers east of the city of Oaxaca is located a small town called Matatlán that, due to the number of palenques, has been named "world capital of mezcal." Santiago Matatlán is a name derived from the Nahuatl words; Matlatl, which means network and Tlan which means place, so Matlatlan means "place near networks." The population depends economically on the production of mezcal and the cultivation process of the maguey mezcalero (Agave potatorium). This is where most of this liquor is made and in the short journey you can see fields and fields of agaves that grow for that purpose. In the town it is possible to visit family stills to see ancient techniques to make this traditional liquor where you can observe the production process, from the cooking of the maguey "pineapples" to their grinding, fermentation and distillation.
