Hidden Gems Of Oaxaca Architectural Stroll – Borchard Fellows

Join us for a unique & exclusive walk through the historic heart of Oaxaca, guided by Flor Cantón, a renowned architect and restoration specialist. This experience invites you to discover the history and hidden stories woven into the streets, plazas, and buildings of downtown Oaxaca.

You’ll begin in Tlayudona with a coffee and a historic overview of Oaxaca (and a chance to check out Flor’s personal library of rare prints, maps, and books). Then you’ll take to the streets to explore hidden or overlooked spots.

With her deep knowledge and passion for architecture and heritage, Flor Cantón will help you see the city with fresh eyes, appreciating the cultural layers, historical details, and stories that have shaped Oaxaca over the centuries. This walk offers you, as a writer or creative, a unique chance to be inspired by the city’s living history and gain new perspectives for your own work.

• Guided walk through Oaxaca´s City Center.

• Water, if needed. (Bring your own bottle if you can, to reduce our footprint!)
