Loved visiting Monte Alban and the town where Alebrijes are made. Overall a very cultural state in Mexico. Food was not my favorite but that’s just my personal experience. Will definitely come back :)

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Oaxaca is a lovely place awaiting discovery, nice people, good food. Hotel? Not so much, do a refundable booking with them since they're not really above board. Reception is unaccommodating. Staff aren't welcoming, they go about their business.
