Two of Oaxaca's most colorful neighborhoods, away from the main tourist strip.
A private walk through Jalatlaco and Xochimilco, two historic Oaxaca City neighborhoods known for their brightly painted colonial houses, street murals, and the old aqueduct and Cruz de Piedra monument.
Xochimilco and Jalatlaco are two of Oaxaca City's oldest barrios, with narrow cobblestone streets, colorful facades, and far fewer tourists than the historic center around the Zócalo. Your guide tailors the pace and route to your interests — lingering at murals, the old aqueduct arches, or the Cruz de Piedra monument as you like.
A popular starting point — every Voyzo itinerary is fully customizable, so we'll shape the order and stops around your group.

A private walk through Jalatlaco and Xochimilco, two historic Oaxaca City neighborhoods known for their brightly painted colonial houses, street murals, and the old aqueduct and Cruz de Piedra monument.

Jalatlaco carries a Nahuatl name, and accounts of its founding vary, with some sources pointing to the late 15th century under Mexica expansion and others to 1524. In 2023 it was named Oaxaca City's first Barrio Mágico. Its 17th-century church and shaded plaza give it a village feel inside the city.
Xochimilco's arches belonged to the San Felipe aqueduct, built from baked clay brick in the mid-18th century to carry water to the city. The barrio's public square, the Plazuela de la Cruz de Piedra, takes its name from the large cross at its centre.
Neither barrio is a museum piece. Both are lived-in residential areas where murals, small cafes and bakeries sit alongside family homes, which is why a slow, private pace suits the walk.
