The spirit of 700,000 Heures has always been to share time, nurture encounters and then step back, leaving communities free to choose their own path forward. Each journey becomes a chapter shaped by place, people and moment.
This chapter unfolded in Mexico during the winter of 2024 and spring of 2025.
An exceptional odyssey through Oaxaca, Mexico.
A JOURNEY THROUGH FLAVOURS, CRAFTS AND TRADITIONSOaxaca is renowned for its rich culinary heritage, pristine coastline and lush mountains. For a season, we lived between the vibrant streets of Oaxaca City, the quiet shores near Puerto Escondido and the mountain landscapes of Pueblo del Sol – moving at a gentle pace through a land where flavours, crafts and traditions carry deep stories.
Days unfolded through markets, kitchens, forests and encounters, blending city energy with ocean stillness and moments of retreat in nature. Guests stayed in private homes, discovering cultural and historical heritage, sharing meals inspired by the forest and the sea, and experiencing the region with intimacy and care. Designed as a journey of balance, between exploration and quietude, the experience offered time to disconnect, observe and reconnect with the rhythms of place.
