A peaceful tour with a fabulous guide. I can really recomend this tour all who need some calm and inspering time around Oaxaca. Great view included. Merci.
Margaux was absolutely fantastic. She designed the tour which included a morning at Chima, a very small artisanal chocolate producer, where Ruth and her partner have created a beautiful small hands on experience. We learned about the process of taking the Cacao from the pod all the way to the grinding process and then the mixing of the chocolate to create a delicious hot chocolate. Then Margaux took us up into the Sierra Norte where we hiked to an altitude of 10,000+ ft. and the most incredible view. We wrapped up our high altitude trek with a visit to a small family business that produces the molinillo, a wood whisk used for making hot chocolate. Upon our return we stopped back at Chima, the chocolate shop and retrieved our bagged chocolate that we had produced in the morning. Overall, a completely positive and enjoyable experience.
Learning how to work with Cacao and making hot chocolate was great. The hike afterwards was absolutely magical. The mountains were amazing and our guide Margaux was the best.!
Such a beautiful and lovely experience with Margaux! She has lived in Oaxaca for years and knows the area, people and trails. Her spiritual guidance was beautiful and grounding and such a relief after the stressors of being in the city.
From now on, every time I make a cup of hot chocolate I will have a different level of appreciation for it, especially considering the roasting process, the grinding of the cacao beans, and finally the moment in which you get to savor it. Food has always been an emotional velcro, a love language that binds people together without care of socioeconomic differences. This experience pointed to the simple things in life that create meaning and memories. Starting from the cacao learnings, and its rich history, to the molinillo creation. Followed by a beautiful hike through La Cumbre in Ixtepeji, was a beautiful compliment to a memorable day.
Yesterday we went with Margaux for bird watching and hiking in the Sierra Norte Mountains. We saw about a dozen different bird species--including the Red Warbler and the Dwarf Jay. These two are birds that people travel all the way to Oaxaca to see, and we were so lucky to see them. Then we hiked to the top of the mountain with spectacular vistas. Margaux was knowledgable, friendly, and we had an excellent day. We also did the City Art Tour with her the day before and had a wonderful time.
I had the most amazing morning on Maya Women’s Day hiking with Margo (& Kacey & Mila!). The cacao ceremony was really special and the whole experience was a top highlight of my trip. Strongly advise meeting Margo and going for a hike :)
We joined Margo on Christmas day for the Cacao Day experience and had a wonderful time. Our group included young children (5 and 2) as well as seniors and the activities Margo arranged were a good time for all of us. Margo is more expensive as a guide than other options in Oaxaca but her experience comes with some nice extras such as gifts from Rut and Irvit's chocolate experience or a nice reel of photos from the day. Overall a great time and a nice conclusion to our trip to Mexico!
The Cacao Day was really excellent! We started with learning how to prepare drinking chocolate, which we then took with us on a beautiful hike in the Sierra Norte. After the hike we had lunch and visited a local village where they make the traditional molinillo, used to make the hot chocolate. Margo is a wonderful guide and Ruth from Chimalapa Cacao is quite the cacao expert. This is a great alternative excursion for anyone who loves chocolate and hiking. Highly recommended!
