Magic on Oaxaca Best of IgoUgo

Overview

Monte Alban Photo - Oaxaca, Mexico

Maria Sabina, Monte Alban, Mitla, El Tule, El Mercado ("the market"), The Zocalo, etc. In Oaxaca you can just relax, and forget the busy city. the moment you get off the plane (or bus) you will think that you are in a different place, not Mexico because the atmosphere is magical . . .Quick Tips: Unfortunately RCI doesn''t have resorts in Oaxaca, but there are very good hotel options. For low budget there is the Hotel Veracruz, within walking distance from Historic Downtown, or for high budget there is the Villa Fortin Hotel or the Best Western.

This hotel is not a five-star place, but it will give you spacious rooms, comfy beds, and a cool shower in a city as hot as Oaxaca! The best thing is that it's within walking distance of the city's downtown, and right next to the bus station, so if you are in a hurry to leave the city, just walk a couple of yards and hop on the next bus!

Los Arcos Best of IgoUgo

Restaurant

Quote:
In this restaurant you will find all fine Mexican cuisine, and the best, the Oaxacan cuisine. The best thing to try is the black mole, and the tasajo plate, as an appetizer try the crickets and the white bread. As you know most of the Mexican food is really spicy but the Oaxacan food is the exception--the mole is sooo sweet, the meat is very nice, and the best thing is the mezcal, Oaxaca's own Tequila. Also to finish your meal, try the chocolate, with yolk bread! D E L I C I O U S !
