An itinerary of 10 action-packed days dining and doing in amazing Oaxaca de Juarez. It includes: 1. Day-by-day top recommendations of places to visit and dining "musts" 2. More than 70 recommended things to do, eat, and see 3. Two detailed road trip guides for Hierve el Agua and San Martin Tilcajete. 4. Notes, insights, videos, photos, and more. Why Oaxaca de Juarez? Colorful and welcoming. Hip yet old world. Infused with the pride of Zapotec culture, yet embracing of modern Mexico’s foodie standards. Oaxaca de Juarez defies easy labels and is all the better for it. With one of the most charming Centros in all of Latin America, Oaxaca is unapologetically itself on every level. Majestic churches, historic buildings, stunning street art, indigenous gardens, massive markets, quirky small museums. . .Oaxaca has them all. Best of all, its undercurrent of edge and counterculture keeps this vibrant town from being too consumed by expat and digital nomad influence. Pretty and vibrant, yes. Blandly beautiful? Never.

You can reach the city by plane and then with a 30min ride from the airport to the city, by night or daubs from multiple Mexican destinations or with your car if you decided to rent a car. Keep in mind that distances can be really long in Mexico, so don't plan too much in a short time if you are roadtripping. To get around in the city you can easily walk and explore every corner by foot, if you want to move quicker, take a colectivo or taxi.
