We are very grateful to Ismael, Don Chucho, Jorge, Fernando and Chucho for joining us during the tour. Ismael was very attentive to us all the time. He was explaining to us the types of trees, animals, traditions and culture. We really enjoyed the company and it was without a doubt a unique and unforgettable experience. We were very happy, we would totally recommend it and I would even repeat it.
We all loved the traditional Oaxacan mole. It is certainly not the same to eat it in a restaurant than to taste the homemade seasoning of a local family. We had the opportunity to talk with the family, and even meet Don Chucho’s granddaughters. His wife accompanied us to buy cheese with a lady from the village and we bought some accessories from Ismael’s sister. We were also very grateful that they allowed us to leave our dog at home so we could go horseback riding. The warmth of Ismael and his family was what we enjoyed the most, in addition to the hot springs and the clay bath.
