Oaxaca is the most diverse state in Mexico. It has peaks that reach more than 3,000 meters high, caverns that are among the deepest in the world, virgin beaches, secluded forests, and sunlit valleys. Oaxaca is rich in traditions and customs and has the largest ethnic population found in Mexico.
The State capital is famous for its architecture and for its rich cultural traditions. Oaxaca is also graced by a splendid and varied cuisine and spring-like weather year round. UNESCO declared the city a Cultural Heritage Site.
The historic heritage catches the eye when traveling through the city; you can visit the ancient Main Plaza, the Government Palace, the art nouveau-style kiosk, the Cathedral with its baroque façade and the portals with stores and restaurants. The cafes that line the sidewalks are a favorite spot of locals and tourists alike. Here you can enjoy, under the shade of huge laurels from India, the famous chocolate from Oaxaca as well as the mezcal with lemon and worm salt. This is also a common venue for concerts or fireworks displays.
Oaxaca’s museums and galleries hold many of the region’s most valuable treasures: from the jewels of Monte Albán to contemporary internationally distinguished artists. The small storefront art galleries are replete with wonderfully unique and provocative offerings. And the markets offer an incredible variety of colorful designs. Oaxaca is one of the richest places for arts and crafts in Mexico.
Climate goes from semidry-semiwarm in the valleys, to humid in the east mountain chaín. The average year temperature in the city of Oaxaca is 22ºC.
