The jewel of Southern Mexico, Oaxaca (pronounced wah-hah-kah) is a bright, sun lit city with a thriving indigenous population. The colours of Mexico are epitomised here, in everything from hand painted wooden crafts and boldly patterned textiles to sizzling taco fillings and spiced hot chocolate. Its location makes it a popular base, with fine beaches to the south and beautiful mountain scenery to the north. Oaxaca is also a gateway to exploring Mexico’s past, with Zapotec ruins and pre colonial market towns close by. Most of the year sees warm, dry conditions, some rain falling between June and September. For all of these reasons and many more, Oaxaca is one of the most popular travel destinations in Mexico.
