Overview

This is a project run by Betsaida, Zapotec woman, born & raised in Oaxaca. This project started 6 years ago with the simple desire to share to the world, the beauty & cultural richness of Oaxaca.

We’re not only proud of our roots, but also deeply committed to support the local consumption. From farmers, artisans, cooks, market vendors & more in order to promote a sustainable tourism. Therefore, once you join us in our experiences you’ll live and participate to the preservation of our culture, which is our main focus.

As consequence, Me Encanta Oaxaca is a phrase that expresses how passionate we are, and we believe that once you live Oaxaca, it’ll cast a spell on you.
