Oaxaca
City is located in Mexico’s southern
region in the middle of a zone surrounded
by four valleys. Behind the valleys
lie three important mountain ranges,
which keep the climate mild with
an average temperature of 18º C
(64º F).
In this city, the capital of
the state of Oaxaca, you can admire
the beautiful architecture of the
buildings in the Centro Historico
(Historic Center), which was declared
a World Heritage Site by the UNESCO.
The edifices include la Catedral
(The Cathedral), el Templo y ex
Convento de Santo Domingo de Guzman
(The Temple and Ex-Convent of Saint
Domingo de Guzman), la Basilica
de la Soledad (The Basilica of Solitude)
and el Teatro Macedonio Alcala (The
Macedonio Alcala Theater), among
other magnificent colonial and 19th-century
constructions. As you visit
the main plaza, the numerous establishments
surrounding the Historic Center,
and the traditional markets, such
as Benito Juarez and 20 de Noviembre,
you’ll find all kinds of crafts
that come from various regions of
Oaxaca. Among the most popular crafts
are the colorful alebrijes, swords,
wool garments and beautiful black
pottery. At some of the more traditional
places you can try the delicious
local fare, such as tamales, mole
dishes and Oaxacan cheese. Another
favorite is Oaxaca’s famous mezcal,
a regional alcoholic beverage made
from the maguey plant.
In
the city’s surrounding areas, you
can visit archaeological zones Monte
Alban and Mitla, pre-Hispanic capitals
of the Zapotec and Mixtec people.
If you visit the town of Santa Maria
de Tule, you can marvel at the famous
Arbol del Tule (Tule Tree). What’s
more, the magnificent natural scenery
at Parque Nacional Benito Juarez
and the spectacular fossilized waterfalls
at Hierve el Agua are certain to
impress you. All of these places
are relatively close to Oaxaca City,
one of Mexico’s most charming cities.
