I’ve lived in Oaxaca for 5 years
I speak English
I am a Mezcal producer
Hi, I am Jorge Octavio, a local from Oaxaca who enjoys sharing the city’s colors, flavors, and traditions with visitors from around the world. What I love most about Oaxaca is its rich gastronomic heritage, the deep knowledge passed down in the kitchen, and the incredible variety of mezcal found throughout the state. I also admire how cultural diversity continues to shape and enrich our traditions. I love attending philharmonic concerts, exploring art exhibitions, and riding my bike through the city where even a simple walk feels like an adventure for all the senses. I know the Centro, Reforma, Xochimilco, La Merced, and San Felipe del Agua neighborhoods well, and I find joy in the details of Oaxaca’s artistry, from the ironwork on doors and windows to the life and warmth of our markets.
