Oaxaca is a quiet little city has recently made an international name for itself as the foodie capital of Mexico. It’s home to some of the best mezcal in the country and there is also a ton of culture to explore in the surrounding state. You could easily spend a week exploring the markets, eating mole at different restaurants, and soaking in the history at nearby archaeological sites like Mitla and Monte Alban. Don’t miss out on a tour of the Ethnobotanical Gardens, it’s only offered in English twice a week, but it’s totally worth waiting for.
