We want nothing more than for you to come home with amazing stories.

Our small group settings create opportunities to connect with like-minded adventurers, and our thoughtful lodging choices provide private retreats for those who appreciate moments of solitude between shared experiences.

 

Crucial to the spirit of The Oaxaca Travel Collective are our partnerships with local Mexican providers. We've spent years cultivating relationships with responsible, engaging and unique Oaxaqueño vendors and guides; we feel strongly that the story of Oaxaca is theirs to tell, not ours. As we share our trips with guests and support local businesses, we hope to become a bridge that leads to a deeper respect between our countries and our cultures.

Allow us TO personally introduce you to one of our favorite regions of the world.

We are Chrissy and Charlie Deal, and we've designed The Oaxaca Travel Collective as a boutique travel company specializing in curated planning services and hosted trips to Oaxaca, Mexico, and its surrounding regions. 

We cater to travelers who love being "in the know" about international food, spirits, arts, and culture — but may feel uncertain venturing beyond Mexico’s familiar tourist hotspots.

 

Our concierge services offer personalized attention, the cachet of traveling with industry professionals (a retired chef and sommelier, an artist and photographer), and the peace of mind that comes from having a well-crafted itinerary that’s both exciting and easy to enjoy. 

Welcome to Oaxaca,
the vibrant, artistic heart of southern Mexico.

As the sun sets behind the mountains ringing this colorful capitol city, the wind carries the soft fragrance of corn and the musical echos of conversations bubbling up from every corner, where the mezcal flows freely and the tortillas are all handmade.

Discover the magic of this place through the eyes of a chef and an artist when you join us on a curated week-long tour of Oaxaca and its surrounding countryside.
