Why Oaxaca Makes Mexico So Appealing For Women Over 50
Oaxaca is one of those places where everyday life feels unusually vivid. You can spend the morning in a market full of chiles, chocolate, and handwoven textiles, the afternoon tasting mole or visiting an artisan village, and the evening with a mezcal cocktail in a courtyard lit by candles. The city is walkable, beautiful, and deeply rooted in tradition, which makes it rewarding for women who want more than a quick overview.
For women over 50, Oaxaca offers substance without stress. There is rich Indigenous and colonial history, excellent food, and meaningful cultural experiences, but the pace can still feel relaxed and manageable. Traveling with a women's group makes solo travel feel effortless, especially when you are sharing meals, stories, and discoveries in a place where food and conversation naturally go hand in hand.
If your trip touches Day of the Dead traditions, the experience can feel especially moving, but Oaxaca is compelling year-round. The friendships formed on these trips often deepen quickly because the destination gives you so much to share, from market finds and mezcal tastings to the kind of memorable dinners that stretch late into the evening.

"I have met women on every trip with whom I have stayed in touch; traveled with on our own; traveled to their homes for a visit; or who have traveled to visit me at my home or my winter vacation home. These friendships have been unexpected and surprise blessing of traveling with the Tribe."
Nancy W. H.

"The itinerary for the trip was perfect. We saw so much in our two weeks. The smaller venues were my favorite - Hoi An, Mai Chau and the bay cruise. The choices for food and transportation were outstanding. I never felt as though we were wasting our time while going from one place to another."
Robin R.
Oaxaca, Mexico
"I recently returned from the Oaxaca Women Travel Tribe trip and wanted to share how wonderful it was. I cannot rave enough about Luna. She was kind, helpful, friendly, upbeat, positive and flexible! She really was the Mama Duck to us all and I attribute all the wonderful feelings I got from Oaxaca to her! David was a great tour guide and driver. It was really nice to be greeted after getting off the plane by his friendly face and I loved the info he shared as we rode to the hotel. Loved the many hands on experiences we got and the women I was traveling with were phenomenal, and interesting people whom I happily bonded with! Keep up the good work. I look forward to going on another trip with this group."

"This tour exceeded my expectations. Activities were fun, engaging, informative. The guides were top notch. The meals at the market and at a local’s house were the tastiest."
Dolores H.
Oaxaca, Mexico
"As always, the planned activities were well thought out and executed. I learned so much about the history and culture of the Zapotecs. The hands on activities were such fun, the people and the women in the group were lovely. The hotel was very nice and the people there were welcoming and helpful. I've been to Abruzzo and Oaxaca and both trips were fabulous. I have recommended this group to many of my friends and will continue to do so. I look forward to whatever trip I take next. PS Luna and David were great!"
Lynn S. G.
Oaxaca, Mexico
"I felt immediately welcomed and taken care of. David was waiting at the airport with a sign and Luna greeted me at the hotel door. I loved the entire trip. The women on this trip were great. We all melded together like a sisterhood reunion even though we all met for the first time."
Adrianne L. R.
Oaxaca, Mexico
"The trip was a good mix of local color, crafts, and culture The group was really compatible, and we felt like sisters by the end. Both Luna and David were great as was our driver, Ricardo, who took us up into the mountains on very narrow and bumpy roads."
Elisa B. M.
Iceland
"Very organized and exciting with Liz as our tour leader. It was my first organized tour and first time with the Women Travel Tribe. Getting to know the other travelers added to the experience. Liz took care of us and was genuinely interested in our safety and enjoyment of each activity. I would be lying if I named one favorite moment. Every site was more spectacular than the next. The Katla Ice Cave tour was certainly a moment I did not expect. It was both scary and exhilarating."
