  • You'll be staying at a combination of hotels while in the city and communal cabins while in the mountains.

    Your first three nights are at Hotel Con Corazon:

    Staying at Hotel Con Corazón in Oaxaca is a unique and enriching experience. Hotel con Corazón is a social enterprise dedicated to creating impact. They operate hotels in developing countries with the purpose of supporting local communities to build a brighter future. They do this by investing in education and work. 75% of the profits generated at the business go towards educational programs, set up in cooperation with local NGO’s that support and motivate students to complete their schooling.  One of the current NGOs they work with on the ground in Oaxaca is the Instituto de Integración y Asesoría Comunitaria (IIAC).  IIAC is a learning center attending the academic, psychological and social needs of marginalized youth between the ages of 14 - 24.  

    We'll enjoy beautifully designed rooms with modern amenities, a peaceful courtyard, and a delicious breakfast made from local ingredients. The location is ideal, close to Oaxaca's historic sites such as the Plaza de la Danza. With a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, staying at Hotel Con Corazón not only provides relaxation but also contributes to significant social impact in Oaxaca.

    Your 4th and 5th night are at Communal Cabins in the Lachatao Community:

    Staying at the communal cabins in Lachatao offers a rustic and serene retreat in the heart of the Sierra Norte mountains. The cabins, built with traditional materials, blend seamlessly into the natural landscape, providing a cozy and comfortable haven. Inside, we find simple yet charming furnishings, with warm blankets and a wood-burning stove to keep us snug in the cool mountain air. Large windows offer stunning views of the surrounding forests and mountains, allowing us to connect deeply with nature.

    Mornings begin with the sounds of birds and the fresh scent of pine. The tranquility and natural beauty of Lachatao, combined with the warm hospitality of the local community, make for an unforgettable and rejuvenating experience.

    Your final night back in Oaxaca is at La Betulia Bed & Breakfast:

    Le Betulia is a charming bed and breakfast that invites you to immerse yourself in the rich cultural heritage and natural beauty of the region. This peaceful retreat provides an authentic experience, combining comfortable accommodations, delightful culinary offerings, and personalized service.

    The moment you step into Le Betulia, you can feel the warm and welcoming ambiance.
