One of the most beautiful sites in Oaxaca (plus it One of the most beautiful sites in Oaxaca (plus itinerary ideas). ✨ The ex-convent at Cuilapam was built in the 16th century, features an open chapel, but was never finished. ✨ It’s peaceful and gorgeous and very few people visit. ✨ This site is 30 mins south of the centro and could be combined with any number of sites in that direction: ✨Monte Alban ✨The botanical gardens at @vives.verde ✨The traditional market at Zaachila on Thursdays ✨Breakfast or lunch at @chef.alexruiz ’s delicious countryside restaurant, @portozuelo_ ✨The black pottery in San Bartolo Coyotopec ✨The Friday traditional market in Ocotlan ✨The master artisans Jose García Antonio and Teresita Mendoza at @taller_manos_que_ven ✨@lalocuramezcal palenque in Santa Catarina Minas ✨The Navarro sisters textile weaving worshop in Santo Tomas Jalieza ✨The famous Alebrije workshop of @jacoboymariaangeles in Tilcajete (combined with a meal at their lovely restaurant @almu.uuuuu) ✨ Do you see what I mean by there is a lot to do in Oaxaca?? This is just a fraction, the list goes on and on. I’m going to share my fav one-week itinerary soon, then lots of other itinerary options based on interest and region.
I rarely take photos in Oaxaca centro these days, I rarely take photos in Oaxaca centro these days, there is so much more to Oaxaca than that part of town. Yes the centro is colorful and beautiful, but the spirit of Oaxaca is in the village markets, the little comedors or restaurants along the highway, the artisan workshops, and the historical sites, imo. If you plan a trip to Oaxaca, please make sure to get out of the center. Spend at least half your time outside the city center - it’s easy to do, there is a long list of day and afternoon trips to take in the valley. I’ll talk about day trip ideas in the next few days.
What to eat on Sunday in Oaxaca 🌮 Sundays are What to eat on Sunday in Oaxaca 🌮 Sundays are for barbacoa. In Oaxaca a whole goat or sheep is cooked slowly overnight in the ground, wrapped in agave leaves. The tender meat is then pulled out on Sunday morning and served in tacos or in its own broth with tortillas. 🌮 Also order sangrita (blood sausage), masita (corn served in the fat), and a mezcal to wash it down. 🌮 Barbacoa Pacheco. Or find traditional barbacoa in Tlacolula.

The most pottery in one place in Oaxaca. 🌿 This The most pottery in one place in Oaxaca. 🌿 This shop has thousands of planters in all shapes and sizes. Some as big as I am, some tiny, some with faces or other designs, and others traditional. 🌿 It’s one of my favorite places to wander the long aisles and pick out some new pots to bring home. They also have tons of plants here and there and everywhere. 🌿 Location: 📍Barros de Mexico
Day trip from Taxco | Swipe for clear turquoise wa Day trip from Taxco | Swipe for clear turquoise water 💦 The Pozas Azules de Atzala are a must-do side trip in my opinion. Only 45 minutes drive from Taxco, these clear waters form a string of consecutive pools and mini waterfalls. They're tucked in nature, so you'll just find cliffs and walking trails around. A really beautiful and lovely side trip from town. 💦 👉Things to know: We went in June and the water was cold so not sure how cold it gets in the winter! There are a few vendors that sell simple food and snacks, micheladas, soda and water. Parking is in private lots in town where you'll pay a family to park. Be prepared for people and kids running at your car to get your business. Bring cash for the entrance fee and parking. 📷 @this_is_arkthur and @brooklyntropicali
The most famous corner in Taxco (and probably the The most famous corner in Taxco (and probably the most photo-ed). 🚕 This hairpin corner requires taxis to make 3-5 point turns to get around the building, and they often come from both directions, narrowly but artfully moving around each other. 🚕 There is also a pretty fantastic view of the Parroquia Santa Prisca down the hill, and a sweet little plaza behind where this video was taken.
2 Day Taxco Itinerary ✨ Many that do visit this 2 Day Taxco Itinerary ✨ Many that do visit this off-the-beaten path town often come for one day, or even just an afternoon, but I think it easily deserves two days of wandering its streets and visiting nearby nature sites. ✨ Day One 1. Start off by wandering the picturesque streets. Be sure to spend time in the Zocalo, admiring the Parroquia Santa Prisca, and the Esquina de Taxco - the famous sharp corner where taxis have to make five point turns and you have a great view of the Parroquia below. 2. Ride the Teleferico to get aerial views of the town and mountains below. Have breakfast or lunch at restaurante Montetaxco. 3. Finish the day off with sunset drinks with a view and try the traditional pink mole at Rosa Amaranto ✨ Day Two 4. Take a day trip to the turquoise clear pools at Pozos Azules de Atzala or the incredible huge cave system at Grutas Cacahuamilpa. Both are amazing but in different directions from town. Or do both and stay for 3 days like we did! 5. Shop for silver jewelry or housewares as this town is famous for its beautiful silver. 6. Eat traditional Guerrero style green pozole (note only served on Thursdays!) or pozole blanco the other days of the week. 7. Finish off the day with drinks at Bar Berta, with a view of the zocalo below and people watch. 📷 @this_is_arkthur and @brooklyntropicali
Motherhood looks like a lot of things. So hard and Motherhood looks like a lot of things. So hard and so wonderful at the same time. Of course I have lots more photos of the good moments then bad but here I’m sharing a lot of stuff today I normally wouldn’t. 1. A lovely moment at the beach before breakfast 2. The first couple hours at the hospital. Barely able to keep my eyes open 3. The long and rocky breastfeeding road 🫠 4. Finally able to get out on short walks after my c-section. 5. Hair pulling and major crankiness after a long trámite to get her passport 6. Giddy moments at the beach 7. Never being able to eat a full meal at a restaurant. But finding things nearby to keep her happy and interested. 8. Covid. Before we found out Saby had it too. 9. Selfies in our new home. Never get tired of when she seeks me out. 10. Wedding day for mom and dad. Sending love to all, whatever this day may mean or not mean for you. Mother-child relationships are complicated. Abrazos.
