Joaco M.
Hello! I’m Joaquin, but you can call me Joaco. I’m excited to share my deep love for the beautiful place where I was born—Oaxaca. Living in a small coastal community is truly a privilege, and I’m proud to be part of a culture that values the rich secrets held by the Chontales, our local people. The Oaxaca coast is a surfer’s paradise, with over 20 incredible surf spots nestled along just 100 kilometers between Salina Cruz and Huatulco. From April to October, during the swell season, you’ll find world-class waves that invite both adventure and tranquility—all without the crowds you might encounter elsewhere. I invite you to join me in discovering the magic of this stunning coastline and the unique experiences it has to offer!

Julio C.
I'm Julio, a federally certified bilingual tour guide born and raised in Oaxaca. After more than a decade in education, where I advanced from English teacher to school principal, I chose to dedicate my career to sharing the culture, landscapes, and traditions of my home state. I create private experiences that go beyond the typical tourist itinerary. My tours connect travelers with local artisans, family-run workshops, traditional mezcal producers, and communities that continue to preserve centuries-old Zapotec traditions. I believe travel should benefit both visitors and the people who welcome them, which is why responsible tourism, fair trade, and genuine cultural exchange are at the heart of every experience. Whether we're hiking to panoramic viewpoints, learning ancient pottery techniques, exploring colorful markets, or sharing stories over a traditional meal, my goal is to help guests experience the authentic Oaxaca that most visitors never see.
