COLOR, FLAVOR & TRADITION

The Historic Center of Oaxaca is a cultural heritage site inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1987. The Historic Center of Querétaro is a cultural heritage site inscribed in 1996 on the UNESCO World Heritage List..

The city was founded under the name Villa de Antequera by decree of Carlos V on September 14, 1526, but it was not laid out until 1529 by Alonso García Bravo, based on a grid pattern, becoming an example of colonial planning.

Oaxaca is synonymous with diversity. It has peaks over three thousand meters high, caves that are among the deepest in the world, pristine beaches, hidden jungles, and valleys that embrace populations where the cultures of peoples who still preserve their culture and customs blend together.

The historic center of Oaxaca is a perfect example of a 16th-century colonial city, as the buildings from that period have been preserved almost intact. Additionally, later constructions have been able to integrate perfectly, creating a harmonious urban landscape dominated by green quarry stone.

Its temples with ostentatious sacred art are a testament to a unique cultural richness, as their intricate decorations clearly show the blending of pre-Hispanic symbols with techniques brought from Europe.

 

Oaxaca

The capital of the state owes its fame to the beauty and harmony of its architecture, the richness of its cultural traditions, the wide variety of its typical food, and its mild climate.

The main square (zócalo) is the center of city life, where the Cathedral, a kiosk, and the porticos that house shops and restaurants are located. Under the shade of huge Indian laurel trees, people can enjoy the typical drinks of the region, from steaming hot chocolate to mezcal with lime and "gusanito" salt.

The city offers a wide range of cultural options. In addition to its museums, it also has galleries that exhibit the works of renowned Oaxacan masters. This artistic sense is also evident in the markets, where one can see one of the richest and most varied artisanal productions in the country.

The climate ranges from semiarid-semi-warm in the valleys to humid in the eastern mountains. In the city of Oaxaca, the average annual temperature is 22ºC.
