About this trip

✨ Connect with local women entrepreneurs and take part in women-led impact in Oaxaca.


Saturday July 11th

10 am to 5 pm

Journey to San Marcos Tlapazola and experience barro rojo pottery alongside local women entrepreneurs whose work continues to shape daily life and local livelihoods.

Visit homes and workshops, create your own pottery piece, join the town’s annual Red Clay Festival, and share a homemade meal together — while directly contributing to women’s economic empowerment through tourism.

You’ll create your own pottery piece alongside your hosts. Due to time constraints, your piece will not be fired, but your host will gift you a handcrafted piece to take home as a memory of your day.

Step into everyday life and real conversations rather than an experience created for tourism. Transportation is included, and all proceeds are reinvested into Fundación En Vía’s work with women entrepreneurs.

What's different about this experience?

At Fundación En Vía, tourism is a tool for impact. We work with women entrepreneurs through interest-free loans, business education, and ongoing support that helps strengthen economic opportunities over time.

Every woman you meet during this experience is part of these programs, meaning your participation becomes part of a larger model of women-led economic empowerment.

Because we work alongside women over many years, you step into experiences built on trust — spending time in real spaces and conversations rather than experiences created for tourism.
