Summary The first stop was the Oaxaca highlands. It is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Mexico. This city has monuments, churches, restaurants, art galleries and handcrafts shops. They visit the Santo Domingo church and monastery where the entrance to the church and museum opens to a huge plaza for local fiestas and other local entertainment events. Next to the church is an extensive system of courtyards, cloisters and rooms that formerly constituted the monastery. It is home to the Regional Museum of Oaxaca since 1972. They head to Graphic Arts Center IAGO founded by the local artist called Fracisco Toledo where he promotes lithograph arts that are easily reproduced to raise political awareness. They visit the Zaachila market where the locals sell local food products and handicrafts. Here in the market they are entertained by the Jarabe dance by local farmers. They were then invited by a local ice cream-maker to try out his so-called Siboney ice cream. Next, they visit the Mitla ruin, which means Place of the Dead. Mitla is the second most important archaeological site in the state of Oaxaca in Mexico, and the most important of the Zapotec culture. Wise men and priests who could consult the ancestors living in the underworld inhabited this sacred town. Dozens of family-run workshops in Teotitlan del Valle still use the patterns of Mitla palaces in the weaving of rugs, carpets and blankets. They end the day by visiting Nelson's workshop that makes garments with natural dyes and wool of the best quality.
