5 Unique Day Trips Outside Oaxaca City
Gab Bonfiglio
Oaxaca has countless wonders waiting just outside of the city's footprint, offering opportunities to experience the regions many traditional crafts firsthand. When I spent 3 weeks in Oaxaca in late 2021, I traveled to many of these countryside destinations, and I've collected that info in this guide.
Below, you’ll find detailed instructions on how to:
1. Shop for traditional black pottery in the village
known for this craft .
2. Discover spirit guides and mezcal culture in the
same region.
3. Learn the ancient art of rug weaving from families
who have been doing so for generations.
4. Taste regional culture at the Sunday market.
5. Escape into the lush mountains south of the city.
These itineraries are ones I’ve spent hours researching and testing out for myself. Enjoy this self guided opportunity to dive into the wonders of Oaxaca!
