This short but oh-so sweet trip through Central Mexico captures some of the best parts of the country's culture, landscapes, and tasty culinary traditions. You’ll visit the massive pyramids at the ancient Aztec capital of Teotihuacán before travelling to Puebla, a city famous for its talavera pottery and beautiful architecture. Next, you’re heading to Oaxaca where you’ll cap off your trip with a seemingly endless variety of delicious food and cultural traditions, including a visit to an “alebrijes" workshop where you’ll see these brightly coloured art pieces synonymous to the region being brought to life. Muy bueno, indeed.
