Guelaguetza 2022

"A festival full of tradition and culture"
Mexico is a country characterized by its food, traditions, cultures, dances, music, and for having an impressive festivity that allows us to know the beauty of a particular state in the southwest of Mexico.

 
The guelaguetza is a commemorative event celebrated annually in July in Oaxaca, where the eight regions that make up the state gather to share their traditions, dances, and food with different tourists, whether local, national, or international.
 
This event began in pre-Hispanic times when the Zapotecs performed dances for the different gods.
 
During July, Oaxaca is filled with colors, food, and good music, since different events will give you a great experience like the parade of the delegations that takes place in the main streets of downtown Oaxaca on Saturdays before the Guelaguetza, where inhabitants of the 8 regions gather and parade giving us a little bit of their culture.
 
Another essential and awaited event is the mezcal fair where you can taste all the varieties of mezcals made in this state, besides eating regional snacks made by Mexican cooks.

Mexico's culture is rich, colourful and vibrant, influenced by its ancient civilisations such as the Aztec and Maya
