Pros: The food, the place, the history, the music, the culture... Cons: *NONE*!!
Sitting at a sidewalk cafe at the front of the Zocalo in downtown Oaxaca, 400-year old colonial buildings on all sides, brilliant shades of red and green melding with the rough grey stones and wrought iron of antiquity, I can't help but feel like I ...
Pros: museums, food, chocolate, day-trips, people friendly to aliens struggling in Spanish Cons: caution about becoming a target for pickpockets in the market is made
The city of Oaxaca (capital of the Mexican state of Oaxaca) is a pleasant and safe colonial city at an elevation of 5100 feet. It is most famous for its large market. It was, perhaps, more interesting when it was in the open without permanent stalls? ...
Pros: amazing culture, lots of great items to buy, beautiful beaches and wildlife Cons: language barrier can be an issue at times
One of my favorite things to do in life is to travel. I love nothing more (not including my wife and child) than getting out on the open road, or flying out (depending on the airline) to see a place that I've never seen before. In 2003, I was sent to ...
Pros: Strong indian culture, green and tropical, cheap hotels and prices, lots to see. Cons: None worth mentioning

Pros: Ancient charm; ganga (bargain) shopping; awesome drive! Cons: Heavy Traffic on narrow streets
At first sight Oaxaca was like every other town we'd driven through in Mexico. Not as nice as some, worse than others. Coming into town there was a lot of junk along the road, but the traffic was tolerable until we neared the center of the city....
Pros: Quiet beach atmosphere. Cons: Not a lot to do; no night life.
Review Topic: Accommodations
I have been to Huatulco five times, mainly for business, however I've come to vacation here three other times. Just south of Acapulco on the Pacific coast, Huatulco offers a quiet get away to anyone...
Pros: A vacation for every taste Cons: Not the easiest places to get to
If you never want to leave the grounds of a luxury resort, if you'd rather sleep in a hammock on the beach, if you prefer something in between, the southern state of Oaxaca has something for you. Here, the norm is pristine beaches, small bays, coastal ...
Pros: Culture, food, people and places like you've never experienced! Cons: It gets very Hot in the summer, but hey, who cares!
If you are intrigued by ancient civilizations as I am, you will love this city and it's surroundings. There are 7 mayor Zapotec and Mixtec centers, all within 40 minutes of modern day Oaxaca as well as numerous museums.

Pros: art, not overrun with tourists, historical beauty Cons: does not have as many ruins as I would have liked
I had heard that Oaxaca was Mexico's most romantic city from a friend of mine. Upon arriving in Oaxaca I didn't understand what my friend was referring to. It was not until leaving Oaxaca that I began to miss it's cultural and historical beauty. The city...
Pros: Convenient and clean Cons: Somewhat high priced for Mexico, but great prices on food made up for it.
Normally, I would not choose Holiday Inn in a foreign country. I want some local flavor. However, this new property in Oaxaca is delightful and "Mexican" enough. We have traveled rustically in Mexico, which can be cheap and fun, but this time we wanted a...
Pros: Rich culture, sunshine throughout the year, great shopping, music, numerous museums, unique cusine, cultural events. Cons: The heat and teachers' protest in May.
When I discovered Oaxaca in 1987, I immediately fell in love with this beautiful, historic valley. I retired here in 2002 and have never looked back but everyday I feel like a tourist discovering the city anew. The political unrest a ...
Pros: Oaxaca's ruins and Main city is fantastic Cons: Parts of this state is very rugged
I actually got the chance to live in Oaxaca with Amigos De Las Americas last summer and loved it! I lived in a small village called San Pedro Martir. Unknown to the rest of the world! I got to see life through people way different from how we live...
Pros: Experience the old style flavorof the real Mexico Cons: None that I can think of!
Oaxaca is one of the more beautiful cities in Mexico. Despite a booming tourist economy Oaxaca is as charming as ever, giving every visitor a taste of Mexico Antigua!
