OAXACAN CUISINE

The state of Oaxaca serves up some of Mexico's most unique dishes. Order the classics: anything with mole sauce, tlayudas (like a tortilla pizza) and a side of mezcal.

SIERRA MADRE DEL SUR

Plan tropical hikes across this mountain range. Try the flower-lined trails of Hagia Sofia Eco Park for exotic fruit tastings and butterfly sightings.

WANDER THROUGH HISTORY

Visit the nearby Parque Eco-Arqueológico Copalita for jungle paths and pre-Hispanic ruins, or head further out to the spectacular archeological site of Monte Albán.

BAY-SIDE IS BEST

Huatulco is defined by 9 beautiful bays. Boat trips along the coast let you bay-hop and choose your fave between San Agustin, Chachacual, Cacaluta, Maguey, and more.
