With local guides and your handy local leader, you’ll hike from village to village along rural paths and forest trails, soaking up the natural scenery of the highlands. With hard-to-access Zapotec villages, you’ll leave the common tourist trail and visit local small farms, participate in a cooking class, join a pulque and tepache workshop and spend each night in a community cabin. With an Intrepid leader by your side, you can get closer to some of Mexico's favourite places, no matter how much time you have.
