Frequently asked questions about hostels in Oaxaca
What are the most affordable attractions for backpackers to visit in Oaxaca, Mexico?
For budget travellers in Oaxaca, exploring the Centro Histórico is free and offers incredible architecture like the Templo de Santo Domingo and the Zocalo. Hiking up to the Cerro del Fortín for panoramic city views is also free. Visiting the many free markets, like the Benito Juárez market, to experience local life and sample affordable street food is a must. The Ethnobotanical Garden is relatively inexpensive and offers a peaceful escape.
What are some unmissable, lesser-known spots in Oaxaca, Mexico?
Many overlook the beautiful Hierve el Agua, petrified waterfalls with natural pools. The ruins of Monte Albán are well-known, but venturing further afield to the less-visited ruins of Yagul offers a more tranquil experience. The village of Teotitlán del Valle is famous for its hand-woven rugs, but exploring smaller villages like San Bartolo Coyotepec, known for its black pottery, offers a more authentic experience.
What fun and budget-friendly events or festivals are happening in Oaxaca, Mexico?
The Guelaguetza, a major indigenous festival showcasing traditional dances and music, is a highlight, though it can be crowded. The Día de Muertos celebrations in October and November are spectacular and widespread, with many free community events. Smaller, local village fiestas throughout the year offer a more intimate experience of Oaxacan culture.
What are the best hostels with a jacuzzi in Oaxaca?
What are the best nightlife spots in Oaxaca, Mexico?
La Pajarita is a popular spot for live music, particularly traditional Oaxacan music. Many bars around the Zocalo offer a lively atmosphere. For something a bit different, explore the smaller cantinas tucked away in quieter neighbourhoods for a more authentic experience. Remember to check opening times as they can vary.
What are the best hostels for families and kids in Oaxaca?
What’s the ideal length of stay to get a full experience of Oaxaca, Mexico?
A week allows for a good overview of Oaxaca City and some day trips. Ten days to two weeks would allow for more exploration of the surrounding areas, including villages and archaeological sites. A longer stay enables a deeper immersion into the culture and allows for more relaxed travel.
Does Oaxaca, Mexico offer any iconic natural events?
While not a regular event, the rainy season (June to October) brings dramatic thunderstorms and lush greenery to the region. The changing seasons also dramatically affect the landscape and the availability of certain foods.
Are there special cultural workshops or experiences to explore in Oaxaca, Mexico?
Numerous workshops focusing on pottery making in San Bartolo Coyotepec, rug weaving in Teotitlán del Valle, and cooking classes featuring Oaxacan cuisine are readily available. Many hotels and tour operators offer these experiences.
How can you dive deeper into the culture and connect with locals in Oaxaca, Mexico?
Staying in smaller, family-run hotels or guesthouses rather than large hotels can offer more opportunities for interaction. Taking cooking classes, participating in workshops, or simply spending time in local markets and engaging with vendors in Spanish can help. Learning some basic Spanish phrases is highly recommended.
Which restaurants and bars in Oaxaca, Mexico offer the best local cuisine?
Many restaurants in Oaxaca City offer excellent Oaxacan cuisine. Some notable examples include Los Danzantes, known for its upscale take on traditional dishes, and Pitiona, which offers a more casual setting. Exploring smaller, family-run restaurants in different neighbourhoods will provide a wider variety of culinary experiences.
