Travel & Places to Stay

The Wedding Website of Anthony Barajas and Vanessa Marcial
Recommended travel dates are April 15, 2022 to April 22, 2022 so you can hang out after the wedding to explore everything Oaxaca has to offer. No obligations, just a recommendation.

Travel Note

Yes! The wedding is on a Monday

You read it correctly! The weddings in Tlacolula are celebrated on Mondays. Friday through Sunday majority of the town who have their own businesses go to other nearby towns and sell their goods. Currently our relatives sell cacao or cocoa bean to Ocotlán de Morelos on Fridays, Mercado de Abastos on Saturday, and sell at the Mercado de Tlacolula on Sundays. Leaving Mondays as a day to rest or in this case party!

Flight

OAX - Xoxocotlan International Airport

Oaxaca has a small, modern airport accessible by both American and Mexican airlines, including United, American Airlines, Delta and Aeromexico. If flying from the US, you can fly to Oaxaca connecting in either Houston/Dallas, TX or Mexico City. If flying from Chicago, we recommend you also consider departing from O'Hare International Airport. IMPORTANT: Please plan a minimum of a 2.5 hour layover at the Mexico City airport when booking your flight to Oaxaca. Mexico City Airport's customs line can be unpredictably long and you may have to transfer to a different terminal depending on the airlines you book. If you can't find a convenient layover time and have a flexible schedule, we suggest spending the night in Mexico City.

Shuttle

Transportation

For both Taxis and "colectivos," there is a booth directly outside of arrivals the airport. You will pay for your ride at the booth and be given a receipt before heading out to your ride. Please note Uber is not available in Oaxaca.
