Testimonials
My family and I had a transformational experience on this 3-day trip. The views were gorgeous, the food was delicious, the Mixe communities’ textile and clay work were beautiful. I highly recommend this trip to those looking to reconnect with the earth, learn about community, and support local artisans.

From the start I was very impressed with Raiz Ayuuk’s excellent communication online and their obvious commitment to the culture and nature of Mexico. Once the tour started it was clear we had made the right choice to go with them to this area of Mexico. The Sierra Mixe is an absolutely stunning and very interesting area to visit.

I had the immense pleasure of enjoying a trip to the Sierra Mixe with Raíz Ayuuk and cannot recommend this experience highly enough! Each of the destinations on our tour was intentionally curated with the utmost care. The personal relationship between Raíz Ayuuk and the homes, artisans and tallers we visited was palpable.
