Art, flavors, mezcal, and tradition, a myriad of reasons make the world in love with Oaxaca. The sincere kindness of its people, its unforgettable flavors, and the charming architecture that enraptures when walking through the Plaza de Santo Domingo and other corners have made Oaxaca one of the most visited and valued destinations in Mexico.
Oaxaca is everything you would expect and at the same time a constant surprise. Having the charm of a small town, Oaxaca has hundreds of different corners and scenarios, which never stop to amaze. Oaxaca is Monte Alban. Oaxaca is the charm of its historic center and the hubbub of its squares, the beach of Puerto Escondido, and Huatulco. It’s a bohemian sunset in the heat of mezcals and the taste of their Tlayudas and other delicacies in their markets.
This year, to avoid a rise in COVID cases, the famous Guelaguetza will not be in person. However, you can visit the state and help reactivate the economy by visiting its squares and markets. Hygiene measures and security protocols are in place. And the archaeological zone of Monte Albán and other destinations are receiving visits and taking care of protocols to offer a better experience.
In addition to a mandatory visit to the markets and various cravings that you will find in the market and streets surrounding Santo Domingo, we recommend you book in advance to enjoy a culinary experience by the Chef. Luis Arellano, in Criollo. Imagine the best of Oaxacan flavors; mixed in the gastronomic laboratory of Enrique Olvera and Luis Arellano. And to rest, the best option is the eclectic charm of the Zapoteco Pug Seal, located in the heart of downtown Oaxaca. The perfect place to rest and enjoy the quality and personalized service of a luxury hotel, with the privacy and warmth of a Mexican home.
To end your visit, don’t forget to support local artisans and bring home unique and different pieces; created by local artists and expert hands.
