    About Oaxaca

About Oaxaca

Oaxaca (pronounced waa·haa·kuh) is both the name of the state (Oaxaca de Juarez) located in southern Mexico, and the capital city. Most things to do in Oaxaca City are located near the city center, so you’ll often hear locals simply reference “Centro” when talking about things to do or places to eat in the city. When you fly into Oaxaca City, you will take about a 25 min taxi to the city centro where the wedding festivities will be held. Below are a few spots we recommend to kickstart exploring the city.

If you're looking to take a dip in the human-made pools, aim to get there early to avoid crowds. Expect a 1.5 hr drive outside of the city, and lots of tours guide options are available.
