Overview

Your experience is the only one that combines world-class art with the warmth of a traditional market. We don’t just walk through Ocotlán; we enter the soul of the town. We are the only ones that include an exclusive visit to the workshop of Alberly Sombreros to learn the secret of the hat of 'donkey belly' and an encounter with history in the murals of Rodolfo Morales. In addition, we navigate the market to meet the famous Doña Beatriz, ensuring you taste the most authentic flavors that other tours overlook. With personalized transportation and small groups, we guarantee a Friday full of 'Magic Realism' that feels like a trip between friends, not like a sightseeing excursion."

We start in the artistic heart of Ocotlán. We will admire the impressive murals of Rodolfo Morales that decorate the Municipal Palace, where local traditions come alive in vibrant colors.

Parque de Ocotlan

“We will visit the iconic workshop of Alberly Sombreros, where we will meet the guardians of one of the most elegant traditions of Oaxaca. Here we will learn the artisan process of the 'donkey belly' hat, from hand moulding to finishing. Travelers will have the unique opportunity to enter the workshop, talk with master hatters and understand why this garment is a symbol of identity and status in the Central Valleys. A must stop for lovers of fine craftsmanship and photography."
