93 Best and Fun Things To Do In Oaxaca, Mexico


TouristWire Editors

One of the most culturally diverse regions in Mexico, Oaxaca state is an incredible destination. The region is famous for its mezcal, chocolate, and mole, as well as the diverse indigenous communities that live in the Oaxaca Valley after centuries of trade.

Oaxaca is famous for its two most significant festivals, Guelaguetza and Day of the Dead, as well as for its exciting year-round culture. The city’s colonial buildings, many of which now function as hotels, museums, and restaurants, are both fascinating and beautiful.

Despite Oaxaca remaining one of Mexico’s least developed regions, it is one of the nation’s most popular tourist destinations due to its rich native culture and regional cuisine that have their roots in historical traditions. View the list below to find all the wonderful attractions Oaxaca offers.
