Additional info

Pricing

The listed price of the trip is per person based on double occupancy.

Traveling Solo?

You’re in good company.

Opt for a Private Room to yourself, subject to availability, for a supplemental cost of $630 USD.

Solo travelers typically make up about half of our small groups. With curiosity at the center of our experiences, there’s a natural camaraderie that develops over the course of a trip. 

If you don’t opt for a Private Room, you'll be matched with another solo traveler of the same gender.

Activity Level

Travelers should feel comfortable walking two to three miles over the course of each day in warm weather, and occasionally going up and down stairs.

Arrival & Departure

You should plan to arrive by 5 p.m. on Day 1, and depart anytime on Day 7.  Oaxaca Airport (OAX) connects to a range of flight hubs in North America. The best flight connections to Oaxaca are offered by Aeromexico Airlines and American Airlines.

*Airport transfers are only provided if arriving & departing on the trip dates, or if pre/post arrangements have been made through Atlas Obscura.
