[Oaxaca Adventure] | In the City of Colors, Encounter the Ancient Charm of Mexico

🗓Itinerary: Oaxaca, a city of vibrant colors, is one of Mexico's most ethnically diverse ancient cities and a World Heritage City. It takes only 40 minutes to fly directly from Mexico City to Oaxaca, or you can take an ADO bus and enjoy the scenery along the way. Upon arrival, you can take a colectivo or taxi to your hotel. We recommend planning at least a 3-day itinerary to fully experience the charm of this city. 🏨Accommodation Recommendations: ① We recommend staying at a hotel near the old town, such as Real Oaxaca Hotel, which is just steps away from major attractions such as the Church of Santo Domingo and the Zócalo, making it easy to explore. ② In addition, Quinta Real Oaxaca is also a good choice, known for its luxurious facilities and quality service. 🍽Food Exploration: ① Tlayudas: Crispy tortillas with black beans, cheese, and salsa, rich in flavor. ② Mole Negro: Sweet and spicy, with chocolate and rich spices, is the pride of Oaxaca. ③ Chapulines: Grilled grasshoppers seasoned with garlic and lime juice, a creative snack in Oaxaca. ④ Tejate: This traditional drink is cool and refreshing, perfect for quenching your thirst. ⑤ Mezcal: A close relative of tequila, but with a more complex flavor, is a symbol of taste. ✅Must-Do: ① Oaxaca Botanical Garden: There is an English tour every day at 11:00, and the ticket is 100 pesos. It is a good place to learn about local plants. ② Church of Santo Domingo: The interior is decorated with three-dimensional reliefs, colorful and impressive. ③ Zócalo and Oaxaca Cathedral: This is the heart of Oaxaca, full of history and culture. ④ Mercado Benito Juárez: A market full of local flavor, where you can taste a variety of authentic food. ⑤ Mercado 20 de Noviembre: The barbecue stalls are a must-see and a great place to experience the local nightlife. 👍Top Recommendations: ① Tule: There are huge ancient trees here, a great place for photos. ② Mitla Ruins: An important archaeological site that showcases the culture and architecture of the ancient Indians. ③ Mezcal Distillery: Learn about the process of making mezcal and taste different types of mezcal. 📝Tips: ① Oaxaca has strong sunlight, and it is very sunny during the day, so we recommend bringing sunscreen and a sun hat. ② Although many attractions and restaurants offer English services, learning some basic Spanish vocabulary will be more helpful.
