Memorable parts?
This was a food trip, and the food was fantastic. Our great guide, Fernando, took us to street food, markets, and restaurants--more than I expected. The cities of Puebla and Oaxaca are beautiful. For me high points were the markets and Monte Alban.
Tips?
1) Check the exact date you are going. We happened to be on the one trip that started at a different hotel, and there was confusion.
2) Now there is an overnight bus from Oaxaca to Zipolite (apparently soon... (more)Nancy McCormick

Hiking in the fresh air of Spanish Pyrenees and being up close to many of the endangered lammergeier, or bearded vultures, soaring near the cliffs. There
