1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Mexico is a vast and culturally rich country in North America, home to ancient civilisations, colonial architecture, and some of the world's most celebrated cuisine. Mexico City, the sprawling capital, draws visitors with its world-class museums, vibrant neighbourhoods like Roma and Condesa, and iconic landmarks such as the Zócalo and Teotihuacán. Puebla and the nearby town of Atlixco are known for their beautifully preserved colonial centres, Talavera pottery, and the birthplace of mole poblano, while Oaxaca captivates travellers with its indigenous cultures, mezcal distilleries, colourful markets, and remarkable pre-Columbian ruins at Monte Albán. Independent and group travellers alike are drawn to Mexico for its depth of history, regional diversity, and legendary food and street culture.

Mexico City to Oaxaca: Self-Launched Day of the Dead Adventure

A self-launched 8-day Día de los Muertos route from Mexico City through Puebla and Atlixco to Oaxaca, built around public buses, hostel and guesthouse stays, and self-bookable tours. You'll walk the capital's centre and markets as the city dresses for the dead, ride the ADO bus to colonial Puebla, spend a day among the cempasúchil marigold fields of Atlixco, then head south to Oaxaca for cemetery vigils, market foraging and Monte Albán. All costs are per-person estimates for the late-October festival window, when accommodation prices spike — book hostels 2-3 months ahead.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Mexico (Mexico City, Puebla, Atlixco, Oaxaca) yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Find the most locally-hated tourist trap and go anyway, unironically, in a costume."
