Overview

🌮 Banana Travel presents: Oaxaca + Zipolite + Puerto Escondido

10 Days / 9 Nights – Culture, Colonial Cities & Pacific Coast Beaches

Discover Mexico beyond the postcard: colonial Oaxaca, ancient Zapotec ruins and the laid-back beach towns of the Pacific coast, all in one immersive 10-day journey designed for connection, culture and celebration.

It all starts in Mexico City with a walk around Condesa, street tacos at the famous Orinoco Taquería, and a first night out at a gay rooftop bar. From there we fly to Oaxaca City for a deep dive into its historic center, the Santo Domingo Temple, the ancient Zapotec capital of Monte Albán, and the natural wonder of Hierve el Agua — with immersive culinary experiences along the way.

Then it’s time for the coast: Zipolite and Mazunte welcome us with beach mornings, wellness sessions, sunset views from Punta Cometa, and a beachfront New Year’s Eve party under the stars. The journey continues in Puerto Escondido, home to some of the Pacific’s most stunning beaches — Carrizalillo and Bacocho — plus beach parties by the bay.

We close the trip back in CDMX before the flight home, having traded the ordinary for ancient temples, natural pools, and the best beaches Oaxaca has to offer.
