OAXACA, MEXICO
Oaxaca is a beautiful colonial city
located a little over 300 miles south of Mexico City. The city owes
its fame to the beauty and harmony of its architecture, the richness
of its cultural traditions, the wide variety of its typical foods,
and its soft temperate climate, that is spring-like throughout the
year. Its name comes from the Indian word Huaxyácal. In Oaxaca you
will find an incredible mix of both Spanish and indigenous cultures.
In Oaxaca, there is a large population of Zapotec and Mixtec Indians in the central highlands surrounding Oaxaca City. The villages here are famous for their crafts and attract visitors from all over the world. Their ancestors established agriculture and civilization in these valleys centuries ago. They were the ones who built and rebuilt the magnificent ceremonial center of Monte Albán high upon a mountaintop above Oaxaca City. Up there, you'll find an intriguing collection of buildings, ball courts, and plazas with designs distinctive from those of the Maya to the east and the many cultures of central Mexico to the northwest.
