8 days in Oaxaca Itinerary

Capital city of the eponymous state, Oaxaca relies heavily on its colonial charm, its core a maze of tree-shaded alleys flanked by photogenic mansions, government buildings, and old churches.

You've now added Mezcal Educational Tours to your itinerary. Change things up with a short trip to Isaac Vasquez Studio in Teotitlan del Valle (about 42 minutes away). The adventure continues: make a trip to Hierve el Agua, see the interesting displays at Museo de las Culturas de Oaxaca, hike along Coyote Aventuras, and take in the architecture and atmosphere at Templo de Santo Domingo de Guzman.
