A Deep Love of Art

We had an amazing Jalatlaco Art tour with Maria Fernanda! She was very upbeat, enthusiastic, and created a quick rapport with all of the tour members. She displayed a clear knowledge of the Jalatlaco neighborhood and art scene. She shared such interesting knowledge about Oaxaca’s culture and art history. You should not miss this lovely tour with an Oaxacan local!

One of the best tours I've ever had!

Fer is one of the best tour guides I've ever had! Rooted in the community, she is an expert in the street art of Oaxaca and the city. She is also one of the most pleasant, intelligent, knowledgeable, and charming guides I've had the pleasure of spending time with. The morning with her, on my last day of a week in Oaxaca was the highlight of my time there. I cannot say enough! I will recommend her to everyone! Please ask for her by name-Fernanda.
