Learn more about hotels in Oaxaca

A nourishing cradle of history, Oaxaca is one of the 32 federal entities that make up the vibrant tapestry of Mexico. Characterised by a backdrop of 570 diverse municipalities and intrinsic indigenous cultures, this state has much to offer. From the historic architecture of civilisations past, dating back to as early as 11,000 BC; the state blends a mix of Spanish introduced cultures alongside the resilience of the native Zapotec and Mixtec tribes.

Drenched in a fascinating history, Oaxaca’s arrival into the colonial era added a new layer of complexity. The effects of the Spanish conquest led by Hernando Cortes, left a mark on the local population. Despite the impact, Oaxaca remained relatively disconnected during the colonial period allowing Indigenous cultures to keep their identities intact. Even during the turmoil of the Mexican War of Independence, Oaxaca stayed loyal to the Spanish Crown.

Yet, it is not just the rich history that sets Oaxaca apart. This state is a biodiverse paradise and home to the guaje tree, lending its name 'Huaxyacac' (Oaxaca) in the local Nahuatl language, alluding to its natural wealth. Gifted with a significant Pacific coastline, Oaxaca serves up a diverse menu of sandy beaches, azure waters, and tantalising archaeological sites.

When to visit Oaxaca

Oaxaca thrills visitors with its yearly festive showcase, the 'Gueleguetza fest' in July and the 'Day of the Dead' celebrations in November. These events are a glorious spectacle of local heroism, with vibrant parades, exquisite delicacies, and enthusiastic locals. Book your accommodation in advance to enjoy these unique experiences to the fullest. Likewise, for those seeking festive escapes during the spring and winter holidays, advanced bookings are recommended.
