TRAVEL IS NOT JUST ABOUT THE PLACES YOU VISIT, THE PHOTOS YOU TAKE, OR THE THINGS YOU BUY. IT'S ABOUT THE PEOPLE YOU MEET—THOSE WHO CHANGE YOUR PERSPECTIVE, WHILE YOU LEAVE A POSITIVE IMPACT ON THEIR LIVES.
VIAJAR NO SÓLO SE TRATA DE LOS LUGARES QUE VISITAS, LAS FOTOS QUE TOMAS O LAS COSAS QUE COMPRAS. SE TRATA DE LAS PERSONAS QUE CONOCES, AQUELLAS QUE CAMBIAN TU PERSPECTIVA Y EN LAS QUE DEJAS UNA HUELLA POSITIVA EN SUS VIDAS

FAMILIA LU’LA’ is a micro-enterprise founded and led by Betsaida López Díaz—a Zapotec woman from the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, Oaxaca—who started her business on October 31, 2018, under the name ME ENCANTA OAXACA.
The team now includes other local women born and raised in various regions of Oaxaca; they are professionals in their fields who take pride in their roots and they are committed to preserving Oaxacan cultures through Responsible and Ethical Tourism.

This role allows us to serve as an intercultural bridge between our people and our guests, offering you an experience that is memorable, genuine, authentic, and deeply meaningful. We ensure that your visit generates a positive economic impact that benefits the local community.
