The Women Of is a new travel series from Sistra × RoamCircle, bringing together a small group of women to experience a destination through the women who shape it.
Our first chapter takes us to Oaxaca for five days of food, art, culture, storytelling and connection. We’ll meet local women entrepreneurs, artists and makers, hear their stories, experience their work firsthand and intentionally support women-led businesses along the way.
Through experiences with Fundación En Vía, we’ll connect with women entrepreneurs in local communities and learn how responsible tourism and microfinance are creating sustainable economic opportunities — alongside hands-on cultural experiences rooted in Oaxacan traditions.
Sistra is a global platform discovering and amplifying women-led businesses, creative projects and stories around the world. Together, we’re bringing that network to life through travel creating meaningful exchange between the women who visit a place and the women who call it home..
Oaxaca's chefs, artisans, makers and entrepreneurs, in their own kitchens, studios and communities. Hear the stories behind the work, learn the traditions it carries, and spend your pesos where they matter: directly with the women who made it.
Travel with a small group of curious women: founders, creatives and professionals who'd rather meet the maker than buy the souvenir. Swap stories over mezcal, wander together, and leave with women in your corner, near and far.
Late breakfasts, long afternoons, mezcal at golden hour and nights out in the city. Enough planned to make it special, with plenty of freedom to wander, rest or discover Oaxaca your own way.
Chefs, artists, makers and entrepreneurs, in their kitchens, studios and communities.
The story behind the woman, her work and the traditions it carries.
Hands in the clay, the dye pot, the kitchen. Create alongside her.
Every peso spends with intention, at women-led businesses, studios and tables.
Long tables, Oaxacan food and conversation that runs late.
A private villa, mezcal by the pool, slow mornings and new friends.

Arrive at the villa, settle in by the pool, and sit down to a welcome dinner cooked by a local woman chef, who shares the story behind her food. Every journey begins at the table.

Head into the Tlacolula Valley to meet women entrepreneurs and artisans in their own communities and see their work firsthand. Dinner together in the city.

Swim beneath the mineral cliffs of Hierve el Agua, one of Oaxaca's most extraordinary landscapes, with a stop at a woman-led local business on the way home.

Wander the city's women-led studios and shops, then gather for The Sistra Table: our closing dinner, where travelers and women from Oaxaca share one long table.

Nestled in the heart of Oaxaca. Six bedrooms and a pool. Slow mornings, mezcal at golden hour, and a long table waiting for dinner. Your base between days out in the valleys and nights in the city.

Our one queen room, all yours. Only one available.

Your own room with a full bed.

Yes. Most women will be traveling solo, and the group is small by design. You'll arrive knowing no one and leave with women in your corner.
Oaxaca City is a popular, welcoming destination for women traveling on their own. On this trip, you won't really be alone: you'll stay in a private villa with the group, travel together to scheduled experiences with arranged transportation, and have your hosts with you throughout. During free time, we'll share local guidance on where to go and how to get around, and the usual travel precautions apply, just as in any city. We also recommend checking your government's latest travel advice for Mexico before you book.
Fly into Oaxaca International Airport (OAX). RoamCircle is also a full-service travel agency, so we're happy to help you find and book flights. Airport transfers aren't included, but we'll share the easiest options once you book

Fundación En Vía is a Oaxaca-based organization working alongside women entrepreneurs in communities in the Tlacolula Valley through microfinance, business education and responsible tourism. Its experiences are developed together with the women in its programs, so you'll meet them in their own communities, hear their stories and see their businesses firsthand.
Sistra is a global platform discovering and amplifying women-led businesses, artists, entrepreneurs and creative projects around the world, and sharing the stories behind them. Through The Women Of, Sistra brings that network to life through travel, introducing you to the women it has found and celebrated.
That's completely fine. Your time is yours. Join the group, work from the villa, take a nap, explore, read by the pool or sit something out.
All travelers must be 18 or older. Beyond that, The Women Of is less about age and more about curiosity. It's for women who want to understand the places they visit, meet the women who shape them, and connect with other women from different backgrounds and stages of life.
