Discover the culinary heritage

When you think of Mexico , you probably first think of ancient Mayan temples, colonial cities and beautiful nature. But the very diverse Mexican cuisine, a combination of Maya, Aztec and Spanish cuisine, is certainly worth exploring! The kitchen has even been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 2010! From upscale restaurants to local street eateries, you can enjoy delicious food everywhere in Mexico. However, the best place to sample traditional dishes is Oaxaca , where you can not only dine in beautifully located quality restaurants or local taco joints, but also attend a cooking workshop where you source the ingredients yourself at the local market. Buen provecho!

Corn, tomatoes and chili peppers form the basis of almost every Mexican meal, but beans, avocados and rice are also widely used. Mexico and corn are inextricably linked. Corn can be eaten in seven hundred ways, for example as mail for making tacos and tortillas, or as a whole vegetable. The dishes are often flavored with coriander and cumin.

The most famous dish is the taco , a folded tortilla prepared with steak strips, chorizo, chicken, fish or vegetarian ingredients, depending on the region where you taste this delicacy. Get acquainted with salsa or Mole , the popular sauce to taste with a nice piece of meat and in many variants, sometimes consisting of more than twenty ingredients ranging from onions, tomatoes, almonds and dried chili to chocolate. Try the fresh dish Cerviche , marinated raw fish with lemon or lime, go for delicious chili con care or the vegetarian version chili sin carne, nachos or the filled tortillas Quesadillas .
