“Fluenz created a very special environment for participants. Dinners took place in the best restaurants in Oaxaca, a city known for its culinary scene. One of the best dinners that I have ever was on the last night of our program at a restaurant called Criollo. We were served seven imaginative courses, many with beautiful moles and sauces from the region.”
