Oaxaca is a very appealing city, not only for the natives, but also for the cultural rhythm it offers to foreigners. The locals are very welcoming to tourists and travellers from all over, giving you a great opportunity to explore local interaction. The city has been declared Humanity’s Cultural Patrimony by UNESCO because of its mixture of colonial beauty, cultural heritage, wide variety of food, and dominant Native American population. Oaxaca is very geographically diverse with its scenic countryside with hills, beaches, valleys, and natural parks that complement the culture and heritage.
Oaxaca is also very culturally diverse because of the many different ethnicities. The city is therefore an open exhibition of fine arts, crafts, folklore, pottery, textiles, and wooden animals. Local artisans fill the squares and markets with their deep-rooted traditional products and the music of their culture.
