Overview
La Guelaguetza takes place in Oaxaca city, but there are other Guelaguetzas held in various villages throughout the valley. These more informal celebrations of the Guelaguetza probably bear more resemblance to the way the festival was originally celebrated. This is not so much a show, but a time for people to come together and enjoy one another’s presence, their culture and food. The Guelaguetza lasts for several hours and here people come and go throughout the presentation. The Guelaguetza is a festival of music, costumes, dances, and food, but it’s also a celebration of the mutual interdependence of people within a community. It’s a moment when Oaxacan culture can be appreciated at its best. In these days of Guelaguetza we will be showing the most beautiful and important places and festivities in Oaxaca, mixing the tours that we already have organized with the most important party of the year in Oaxaca, visiting the Guelaguetza in its most original form.
