Travel in Oaxaca

Guelaguetza festival week

Dance, music, mezcal fair. July, book everything early.

Hierve el Agua pools

Petrified waterfalls, infinity pools on a cliff edge. Swim allowed.

Jalatlaco walking morning

Cobblestones, bougainvillea, no crowds. Sunday mornings are silent.

Mezcal tasting in Oaxaca

Smoke, agave, sal de gusano. Sip, do not shoot.

Monte Albán sunset

Zapotec ruins above the valley, golden hour empty.

Oaxaca cooking class day

Market tour, mole negro from scratch, mezcal pairing after.

Tule tree visit

Two thousand years old, widest trunk on Earth. Ten minutes, worth it.
