Akito Masuda – September 17, 2023

Wow, where do we even begin? Our group of friends from Vancouver just had an incredible time exploring the Abastos Market in Oaxaca. The experience was next-level, and a lot of that is thanks to our amazing tour guide, Javier.

From guiding us through the chaman section filled with unique herbs and spells to the vibrant area of dried peppers (hello, Instagram photo ops!), he made every moment a learning experience. But more than that, he made it FUN!!!!!

Netflix’s Street Food Latin America memelas: the spot was crowded, and we had to wait a bit for our memelas.

We highly recommend setting aside time (and stomach space!) for this tour when you visit Oaxaca.
