Oaxaca Guest Hotel

Yo!

So I left Mexico City on Sunday morning to head on down to Acapulco on the Pacific Coast.
I had a stinking hangover after watching Mexico beat Costa Rica 3-0 (which Dos Santos
won single handed - Up the yids!) and drinking all night with 4 Irish guys among others.
I've since bumped in to people who've also been out wit...

On the way to Oaxaca from Teotihuacan we were required to pass through the outskirts of Mexico City. We had heard that the policia in this city of 25 million were some of the most corrupt in Mexico, but hoped we would not experience this first hand. Our hopes went unfulfilled. As soon as we crossed into Mexico's Federal District, several policia...

Am 15. Februar fliegen wir mit ein** kleinen 12-Sitz** Cessna von Pu**to Escondido nach Oaxaca. Eigentlich wollten wir den Bus nehmen, ab** davon ist uns eindringlich abg**aten worden. Die kurvenreiche 6-stuendige Fahrt durch die B**ge ist niemandem in besond**s gut** Erinn**ung geblieben. Wir drehen nach dem Abheben nochmal eine kleine Runde ue...

I came to Oaxaca in 2003, but the modern equivalent seemed nothing like I remembered...I can't have destroyed that many brain cells in the last 5 years surely?! Granted a great deal of the city centre has since been rebuilt due to the bloody demonstrations a couple of years ago when teacher led riots escalated into armed fighting by police and l...

We´re now in Oaxaca, a mountain city in the middle of Mexico. It, like the other places we´ve been in Mexico, is very pleasant. It has a very European central plaza, with musicians and cafës and fairy lights etc. There´s not really much to say about it other than it´s nice. I´ve decided that, given the budget we´re on, Mexico was too ambitious t...

Hello everyone! I don't have internet at my house anymore and it is such a pain to take my laptop to the internet café so I haven't been posting lately but I'm going to catch everyone up on my week. On Wednesday I finally went and saw Sex and the City movie! It was so good! After that I met up with Rhonda to have dinner since she was leaving Fr...

Hola! I made it to Oaxaca, yay! Well first of all I had one of those really tiny planes but that doesn't ever bother me. When we were starting to get close to Oaxaca all I could see forever was mountains! So pretty! So far it's just a normal Mexican town nothing too fancy, pretty poor. My "Mexican mom" picked me up at the airport with a sign wit...

After a wonderful week exploring San Cristobal and the surrounding area we began traveling to Oaxaca. Time dictated our leaving this beautiful area as there were many nearby places we didn't explore. The Cuota road from San Cristobal is mostly a downgrade as you start at 7,000 feet elevation and reach 2,000 feet at Tuxtla Gutierrez. This drop is...

Nestled in the mountains to the east of Oaxaca is a small market town known as Mitla. It is home to, as is implied, markets, but also to ruins and, on this day, a circus, and it is the gateway to one of the most amazing places I have seen so far in Mexico - Hierve el Agua. The markets of Mitla provide a few more cultural wares and 100% less raw ...
