Oaxaca was once the center of the Mixtec and Zapotec civilizations. After the Spanish conquest, the city quickly took on a Spanish flavor, with ornate buildings and charming plazas. Yet despite its colonial heritage, the city remains Indian at heart. Surrounding Oaxaca is a string of wonderful craft villages. Condor Verde offers these three new excursions:
- Oaxaca crafts & cuisine
- Monte Alban, pottery studio, Michelin lunch, & Museo de las Culturas
- Hot chocolate-making workshop in Tlacolula

Choroni & Chuao: Palm-fringed beaches and the best cacao in the world
By Condor Verde Venezuela • 12 November 2024
During this 3 day-itinerary, we will discover Choroni and Chuao on Venezuela's breathtaking Caribbean Coast. Tucked between the magnificent cloud forest of Henri Pittier National Park and the glittering waters of the Caribbean Sea lies the small colonial town of Choroni. Arriving here is like stepping into a vibrant painting - colourful houses lining cobblestone streets, bright fishing boats, the turquoise ocean, golden sands bordered by swaying coconut palms. The evenings are filled with the rhythms of the Afro-Caribbean drums. The neighbouring colonial town of Chuao, only accessible by boat, produces some of the world’s finest cacao, and has done so for the last 400 years. We will explore Chuao’s plantations and artisanal production facilities, and of course taste chocolate!
