Description

Begin your day with an early pickup in Mexico City and travel to a rural tourism center in Acaxochitlán. Meet your local guide, your connection to the region’s rich traditions and stories. Start with a delicious breakfast at a place where you’ll taste family recipes passed down for generations. Then, head to the community, where the day’s hands-on experiences begin. First, learn about the Xochimapcales, a beautiful floral arrangement made with meaning and care. At the dam, join a Water Ceremony offering flowers: white for health, yellow for abundance, and red for love. Witness the Xochipitzahuatl, a traditional dance that honors life, nature, and community. Next, dive into the region’s textile traditions with an embroidery and backstrap loom workshop. Watch the experts in action and try a few stitches yourself. Then, settle in for a lunch like no other, prepared in “cocinas de humo” (wood-fired kitchens using ancient techniques to craft deeply flavorful dishes). In the afternoon, return to Acaxochitlán to explore its cultural heart. First, visit the local archaeological museum to better understand the roots of the community. Just a few minutes away is Cuelguería Juan Panes, where you’ll find colorful handicrafts and a deeper look at everyday artisan life. Stop at the town’s historic church, a peaceful and charming spot where you can take in the blend of cultural and spiritual influences that define the region. To wrap up this journey, visit “Productos Cuauhtémoc,” a small artisanal wine and liquor producer. Enjoy a tasting of locally made spirits and learn how these traditional drinks are crafted, using recipes that reflect the region’s identity.
