Oaxaca

Oaxaca exhibits features that give this distinct location a mature character interlaced with a unique vibrancy – reasons why it is so highly spoken of by the people who know it.

Eternal Mexico is embodied in Oaxaca: deep indigenous roots interweave with colonial flair: the result is a cultural and historical vibrancy which is as emotive as it is unique.

Oaxaca City offers a blend of experiences and attractions, including a charismatic historical colonial center with cobbled streets, striking architecture, quiet plazas, and a fine central square often filled with soft sounds created by local musicians serenading people as they rest under the shade of its trees, and to those taking some time to enjoy fine coffee and quiet conversation at one of the cafés.

Nearby, you’ll find an abundance of attractions (see below) – including El Tule – the 2,000-year-old living tree.

Monte Alban, and Mitla, two of Mexico’s primary archaeological parks are also near here. If you want to seek out the roots and heart of Mexico – then you’ll find them both in Oaxaca. This is a place to come to when you’re hungry to explore the ‘undiscovered Mexico’.

People who come to Oaxaca keep coming back. Every time they return, they see something new in what they already know – and know that they’ll find something brand-new to experience as well.

Ask any Mexican about Oaxaca and the first thing they’ll usually tell you is that it’s ‘the soul of Mexico’. It is true that Mexico’s roots and heart extend from here; but to understand why it’s called so, you’ll need to come and feel the atmosphere, smell the air and absorb the culture.

There is no other way to experience Oaxaca than to be here and know yourself what it means to have been touched by its distinctive vibrancy.
