Coffee and Culture in Oaxaca

Season 4 Episode 409 | 26m 46s | CC

The state of Oaxaca is home to 16 different Indian groups, among whom can be found in more than 60 other languages. Each group retains much of its ancient culture. They visit a Zapotec market, navigate the mangrove watercourses on the coast, and participate in harvesting, drying, and roasting coffee in the fog forest.
