The Capital of Oaxaca
This gorgeous city blends ethnic groups and cultures bringing traditions, handicrafts, and unique flavors to life.
Founded in the 16th century, its buildings are marvelous examples of the New Spanish baroque style. There are churches and chapels everywhere, most built of green limestone. Templo de Santo Domingo de Guzmán may be the epitome of this style.
Today, Oaxaca is a cosmopolitan city, with Mexican haute cuisine restaurants, mescal bars, and boutiques featuring exquisite folk art–everything from alebrije creatures, embroidery work, and black pottery. Moreover, its surroundings encompass mysterious archeological sites and natural wonders such as Hierve El Agua.
