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.

What Women Say About Our Tours

P

Paula Norman

Oaxaca 2026

"Going while preparing for the Día de los Muertos was a very special treat! Also the colors of Mexico was so vibrant. Our tour leader Luna was amazing and we all loved her and Rafa, our guide, so much. My favorite place we visited was Hierve el Agua but Im an outdoorsy girl verses a crafty one. I did love visiting with the the different families inside their homes. I like seeing how other cultures live in their homes."

"The best part were the women who went on this trip, the local people we met and our tour leader, Luna!"

Julie Le

"The trip was well planned and organized. Luna's and Rafa's expertise of the Oaxacan region (culture, people, traditions, history) created a memorable experience. I learned so much both through the presentations by local artisans and the hands-on workshops; I really enjoyed the workshops. I also like the combination of scheduled activities and free time as well as the diversity of the activities."

"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."

Madalina S.

Oaxaca, Mexico

"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."
D

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!"
