(Note that “Oaxaca” can refer to both the state of Oaxaca, and its capital city, Oaxaca de Juarez.) I get a lot of questions from friends and travelers about tips and recommendations for Oaxaca and so I’ve finally condensed them into one comprehensive guide! These are my personal favorites, and not an exhaustive list by any means, but I hope it helps you get the most out of your time in Oaxaca. Over the past six years I’ve spent living in Oaxaca part-time, I’ve made it my personal mission to eat, drink and explore as much as I possibly can.
