Oaxaca
Mexico
Sep 9 - Oct 7, 2022
We're heading back to Oaxaca, the cultural capital of Mexico, a city so intoxicating, creative, and bursting with life it oozes cool every second and steals our hearts. This is where ancient traditions meet contemporary art scenes, where world-class food is found on every street corner, and where colorful streets set the scene for perfect pictures, every time.
Perched in a gorgeous highland valley in southern Mexico, this UNESCO World Heritage city is unlike anywhere else in the country. Picture colorful colonial architecture, cobblestone streets lined with galleries and craft workshops, incredible food scenes where seven types of mole are just the beginning, and communities keeping centuries-old traditions alive.
New to WiFi Tribe? A Chapter is a month of co-living & co-working with 15-25 remote professionals and entrepreneurs. You'll arrive in a new city with an instant community of inspiring, like-minded friends to do life with (deep work on weekdays, daily hangouts, shared dinners, big adventures on weekends). Your social life is an automatic 10/10, but you choose your pace and set your schedule. And by the end, you'll leave with friends you keep traveling with for years.
Everything is co-created – NOT a tour group, a community. Most members are seasoned solo travellers who want a more connected, fun and meaningful global lifestyle – a social life that travels with them. Everyone is values-vetted (only 17% of applicants are accepted) to make sure you'll find your kind of people here. Our vibes: be kind, be bold, stay humble.
"WiFi Tribe puts so much thought and heart into finding the most incredible people. And it makes ALL the difference to the chapter experience. There’s this openness and positivity that you just can’t find out in the real world." - Jess, Triber
During our work weeks, we'll post up at hip cafes in the Centro Histórico where WiFi is solid and the coffee culture is brilliant. We'll wander through vibrant markets during lunch breaks, and after work, we'll explore stunning colonial churches, feast on mouthwateringly good street food, and sample mezcal at traditional palenques.
Weekends with Oaxaca as our base are going to be epic! We'll explore the ancient Zapotec ruins at Monte Albán, admire the petrified waterfalls at Hierve el Agua, visit traditional weaving villages like Teotitlán del Valle where families have been creating textiles for generations, and tour mezcal distilleries. Craving a beach break? Gorgeous beaches are just 6-7 hours away!
Experience Día de los Muertos in Oaxaca! Oaxaca is THE place to witness Day of the Dead! We're talking massive marigold displays covering entire streets, intricate sand tapestries (tapetes), all-night cemetery vigils with candles and music, costumed parades dancing through the Centro, traditional foods like pan de muerto, and a city-wide celebration!
