About Us
At Roots & Routes, we are women and men working together to create purposeful journeys, committed to responsible and respectful tourism. More than tour operators, we are ambassadors of the Indigenous communities we collaborate with, working hand in hand to offer authentic, meaningful, and sustainable experiences.
We believe that each community is a guardian of invaluable ancestral wisdom, and our mission is to help share it with the world ethically—respecting their sovereignty, traditions, and territory. Our commitment is to build cultural bridges, generate fair opportunities, and strengthen the pride and identity of every community that welcomes us.
Our Vision
To be an agency with unique offerings in Oaxaca, recognized for promoting conscious, respectful, and transformative tourism—one that values and preserves the cultural, natural, and spiritual richness of Indigenous communities, while fostering their autonomy and sustainable development.
Our Mission
To offer authentic tourism experiences in direct collaboration with Indigenous communities of Oaxaca, creating routes and excursions that honor their ancestral knowledge, traditions, and ways of life. We aim to generate a positive impact for both visitors and hosts, strengthening the social, economic, and cultural fabric of Indigenous communities through an ethical, responsible, and intercultural dialogue-based approach.
Why Oaxaca Roots & Routes
Our tour agency is committed to social responsibility and community empowerment. Every member of our team believes that travel should create meaningful connections and long-lasting memories while supporting our people and places that make each destination special.
We take pride in ethical, honest and professional relationships with local artisans.
By collaborating directly with craftspeople, artists and cultural “ambassadors” from Oaxaca, we help sustain traditional skills and create opportunities for a much-needed economic growth within the community.
Through our tours, travelers will gain a deeper appreciation for local heritage, while artisans receive the recognition and compensation they deserve. We prioritize fair trade principles, cultural sensitivity and environmental sustainability, ensuring that every experience benefits both visitors and community alike.
When you travel with us, you are not just a tourist, you are actively supporting a network of local talent and contributing to a stronger, more vibrant oaxaqueño community.
