Safety Tips for Traveling in Mexico
In Oaxaca, as in all Mexico, safety is a logical thing. You just have to walk smart, look empty and open your eyes to stay safe, and know what to do if you feel unsafe. That is what we will exercise in our wonderful trip to Oaxaca in June. Come join and see for yourself!!! Oaxaca is rated one of the best vacationing places in the world for a reason!
Visit Oaxaca June 5-13, 2026
In our trip to Oaxaca, we will explore the centers of Monte Alban, the ceremonial center Mitla (Mictlan, the entrance to the underworld for many peoples of the region), Dainzu, and Yagul and “The roofless church” of Cuilapam de Guerrero. An expert English-speaking guide will take us through the archeological sites, giving us as much detail as our interest hungers for, and I will be guiding you on our travels to the sites.
See the Arizona Wildflower Super Bloom
It’s that brief but magical time of year when the desert bursts into color with the wildflower super bloom! These flowers won’t last long, so if you’d like to see them, book your guided hiking tour with us ASAP!
