The Stops: A Mix of Nature, Coffee, Coast, and Cuisine

This tour features four main stops, each with its own unique appeal. Although the itinerary is flexible, here’s what you might expect:

Stop 1: San Jose del Pacifico
Often called the “mushroom capital of Mexico,” this high-altitude village is a haven for nature lovers and those curious about local plant customs. It’s a roughly 3-hour visit with free admission, so you can explore the lush forests, enjoy the panoramic views, or learn about the region’s reputation for alternative healing and, yes, the famed local mushrooms—though the tour itself does not promote illegal activity.

What travelers love: The peaceful atmosphere and stunning vistas. One reviewer notes, “We loved the way our guide explained the local flora and the natural surroundings—it felt authentic and unhurried.”
Drawback: It’s a hillside setting, so some walking or stairs might be involved, which could be tricky for some.

What travelers appreciate: The stunning sunset views and quality food. One review states, “The cocktails at the sky bar were fantastic, and dinner was top-notch, making us feel like VIPs.”
Drawback: It’s a social spot, so it might be busier during peak hours.

Stop 4: Oaxaca City
No visit would be complete without experiencing its culinary scene. Here, your guides will lead you through some of the best food and drinks Oaxaca has to offer, from traditional street snacks to fine dining. Expect a lively, flavorful end to your day.

What travelers love: The authentic taste of local cuisine. Multiple reviewers mention “delicious food, vibrant markets, and warm hospitality” as highlights.
