Description
Hi, my name is Roci, I am a retired Pharmacist living here with my daughter and small dog Chester. I love living in Oaxaca and have many friends. With a strong knowledge of the area, I can offer great recommendations from where to find the best tortillas and tamales to which villages have the best handicrafts such as beautiful rugs and scarves. Our house is humble and the energy is good. Our people come as guests and leave as family.
