In a world where smog, pollution and everyday hustle-and-bustle are commonplace, Belize is the uncommon exception. The air is fresh, the water is clear and the environment is its national treasure. The country's warm, friendly people cherish what the have, and invite you to share it with them. Welcome to Belize, a little piece of our planet where earth is, as earth should be.
Belize is truly a step back in time a time before steel and glass and asphalt filled every corner of what used to be green. Of course there are modern hotels and industry, but it is mostly a country of innocence and charm. It's like an outpost at the edge of our modern world. It's where all thing wild can still live basically undisturbed. Geographically the country is small; but never underestimate Belize. In this compact area of land as with the water of its coast you will find incredible wonders. Above and below the waterline, the topography changes at every compass point. You will see, feel and touch a new realm of adventures. There is a bounty of rivers, jungle, mountains, caves, waterfalls, ancient Maya ruins, coral reefs and other spectacles in a world unlike any you've ever seen. And it is all closer than you think.
Today's electronic era makes traveling easier than ever. Travelers looking for the ultimate in exotic getaways have easy access to information. These same adventure seeking travelers usually think exotic means far away. Well that's not always the case. In actuality Belize is right under your nose. There's no need to look at the other side of the globe. Just look a little south, less than two hours from the southern border of the US. You will find it tucked away between Mexico and Guatemala on the Caribbean Coast of Central America. It's truly one of Mother Nature's best kept secret.
Small in size but vast in diversity, this tiny, English-speaking country is a shining example of nonstop adventure and environmental excellence. It is the essence of nature, above and below the watermark. In a world where rainforest and reefs are disappearing daily, it's refreshing to visit a country where more than one-fifth of its land mass is dedicated to nature reserves. Like a land based on Noah's Ark. These reserves are a refuge for the endless variety of wildlife. Some of this pristine land has never felt a human footstep, at least not for a thousand years or so. The same pristine environment may be found along the amazing offshore reefs and outer cayes. As the interior like a giant outdoor zoo, Belize's underwater world emerges as a Technicolor aquarium. The proximity of reef and rainforest is what makes Belize so unique.

Oaxaca city Mexico visit travel package tour cuisine
Oaxaca Highlights Oaxaca is the capital of a state with the same name, located in the Sierra Madre del SurMountains, the pleasant sub-tropical climate and the serenity of distant places attracts most travelers to the OaxacaValley.
Heir to 3,000 years of history, today Oaxacais a multi-ethnic cultural parade of languages, food, dances, songs, clothing styles, and customs.
Oaxaca, the State Capital, declared Humanity's Cultural Heritage by UNESCO, owes its fame to the beauty and harmony of its architecture, the richness of its cultural traditions, the wide variety of its typical foodsAlebrije
One of Oaxaca's most vibrant and diverse cultural aspects is its cuisine. Thanks to its variety, richness, imaginative use, and laborious preparation, the dishes identified with this state are unquestionably some of the most exquisite in the country.
The most notable aspect of Oaxacancuisine is its variety of moles. Oaxaca is known as the birthplace of the Seven Molesand has the greatest variety including negro(black), colorado(colored), coloradito(little colored), chichilo, verde(green), amarillo(yellow), and manchamantel(lit. 'Stain the tablecloth').
In Oaxaca, it seems like there's always a celebration going on somewhere. On the TehuantepecPeninsula they celebrate the popular vigils or "velas". Other celebrations are The Day of the Dead, The Night of the Radishes and the incomparable fiestas of "Los Lunesdel Cerro", where the highlight is La Guelaguetza-the most traditional Oaxacanfestival of them all. These are some of the festivals that have been kept alive and are an unforgettable treat for any visitor to Oaxaca.
The archaeological resources that the State of Oaxacahas are so plentiful that, to date, the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) has discovered 4,000 different archaeological sites
Monte Albánand Mitlaare two sites that have become famous all around the world, attracting a high number of foreign visitors

After the meeting, get prepared for a nice dinner in one of our favorite Oaxacan restaurants, where you will be able to find the best of two worlds, the traditional and the modern Oaxaca. Back at the hotel you will have a great night sleep to prepare you for one of first cooking class the next day.
Day Two
Good morning! We are certain you had a very well rested night in one of our comfortable Hotels. After having a nice breakfast we will take you to start your culinary experience at Casa Crespo with Oscar Cariozza owner of Casa Crespo and a true Mexican traditions expert. He will guide you through a wonderful cooking
experience, starting from a warm welcome to heading to the market and decide the ingredients for a four course meal. At this beautiful place you will be preparing a tasty sampling of Oaxacan cuisine, such as Mole Negro, bean soup and delicacies as the quesadillas of zucchini blossoms and fresh string cheese, all with native and
modern cooking methods.
After tasting your creations, we will direct our attention to the historic center of Oaxaca, crossing its beautiful streets, visiting the Santo Domingo Museum, the Catholic Cathedral in downtown, and a master piece of the Mexican Religious Art and named one of the UNESCO heritage sites in Mexico. We will visit the traditional handcrafts market where you will be amazed of all the beautiful things you will find. From sculptures made out of black clay to all different types of typical and traditional food such as the fresh string cheese, the handmade chocolate and the interesting and delicious grasshoppers. We will close this wonderful day dinning at the famous "15 Letras".
Day Three:
Buenos Dias! After having a hearty breakfast at the delicious restaurant "La Olla" (The Pot), we will start our day with a visit to the magnificent Monte Alban.
Monte Alban is a pre-Columbian archaeological site in the southern part of Oaxaca located on a low mountainous range rising above the plain in the central section of the Valley. It is one of the earliest cities of Mesoamerica; its importance stems also from its role as the pre-eminent Indigenous culture of the Zapotecs for close to a
thousand years. Visiting Atzompa, the place where the traditional natural pottery along with the green glassed pottery are made. You will enjoy the site seen and the magnificent pyramids along with the beautiful pottery that you will have the opportunity to buy at the handcraft market.
After this exciting and beautiful morning it is time for a light lunch and some time off to walk the nearby stores, in preparation for an awesome cooking experience
with Alejandro Ruiz at Casa Oaxaca, one of the most famous Chefs in the country. He is recognized for his unique techniques at cooking and the fusion of flavors and textures for a true modern Oaxacan cuisine. Among his creations we find the fresh red snapper ceviche with mango and passion fruit sauce a totally worthy experience. The dinner is truly a great experience and the best ending of a great meal could be a coffee tasting from a great Oaxacan coffee company.
Day Four:
Hola! Buenos Dias! After having a great breakfast at the hotel we are ready for a great experience to share at "Seasons of my heart". We will visit the Etla market on a
tasting tour with the great Susana Trilling Executive Chef and Owner and we will buy some ingredients for the menu we will develop at the class. After a light lunch, we
head out to Rancho Aurora, an amazing place where Susana will introduce us to the Oaxacan Cuisine and to a presentation of the ingredients to use at the class. Be
prepared to take an apron and create a five-course meal and then enjoy!
After a well deserved time off, walk the nearby streets of Oaxaca or to take pictures of the nice Plaza at the Zocalo. We will have dinner at one of the beautiful restaurants with modern twist, where you will be able to taste the fusion between the Oaxaca modern and the classic and traditional.
Day Five:
After all the fun we had you might think there will be nothing more, well you are wrong, what is left is the most extraordinaire experience, a cooking class with one fantastic woman, Ofelia Toledo owner of the restaurant Yu Ne Niza, a well recognized woman in U.S. and Mexico for her culinary experience. She is a woman from the region called Itsmo and a "Mayora" (a Mayora is a woman that works with the executive Chef arm to arm and usually runs the kitchen with perfect rules and order) Ofelia will share with you her traditional and original Oaxacan true native way of cooking, From indigenous background, Ofelia will show you how a true "Indigena Oaxaqueña" cooks.
After having this great experience the day will not be complete with a trip to an artisanal distillery. We will show you the art behind the
production of the "Mezcal", a very traditional drink and now certified by the "origin denomination" that is making a strong comeback everywhere in Mexico and abroad.
On the last part of this colorful day, we will close it with a visit to Teotitlan del Valle, a small town where the handcrafted carpets are made. We will visit a family workshop with more than 50 years in tradition. All rugs, carpets, rebozos and othe rwool pieces are handmade, and dyed with natural ingredients and with pre-Hispanic techniques . If you like beautiful handcrafts for your home, a tapestry or an elegant rebozo will be the envy of friends and family .
A visit to Oaxaca will not be complete without a visit to "El Arbol del Tul"e a giant sequoi a w h ich is believed has more than 1,200 years and its wide trunk has created di erent shapes as a deer, a lion and many more your eyes can try to find out. We will nish our day with a goodbye dinner at "La Viznaga", a traditional, modern and exquisite Restaurant that will close the day with avor!
