Oaxaca

Oaxaca City (Oaxaca de Juárez), located in southern Mexico, is a vibrant hub deeply rooted in Indigenous culture. The state of Oaxaca is unique for its strong traditions of self-governance within many of its 570 municipalities, fostering a distinct local identity. Expect a slower pace of life, a strong sense of community, and a rich artistic heritage – particularly in textiles, crafts, and cuisine.

Beyond the city, Oaxaca offers incredible diversity. From the ancient Zapotec and Mixtec ruins of Monte Albán and Mitla to the Pacific coastline with surf towns like Puerto Escondido and laid-back beaches such as Zipolite, there’s something for every lifestyle. It’s also a biodiversity hotspot, making it ideal for nature enthusiasts. Oaxaca is a compelling destination for those seeking authentic experiences and a connection to Mexican history.
