O axaca is the most diverse state in Mexico. It has peaks that reach more than 3,000 meters high, caverns that are among the deepest in the world, virgin beaches, secluded forests, and sunlit valleys. Oaxaca is rich in traditions and customs and has the largest ethnic population found in Mexico.
The City of Oaxaca, the state capital, is famous for its architecture and for its rich cultural traditions. Oaxaca is also graced by a splendid and varied cuisine and spring-like weather year round. UNESCO declared the city a Cultural Heritage Site. The historic heritage catches the eye when traveling through the city; you can visit the ancient Main Plaza, the Government Palace, the art nouveau-style kiosk, the Cathedral with its baroque façade and the portals with stores and restaurants. The cafes that line the sidewalks are a favorite spot of locals and tourists alike. Here you can enjoy, under the shade of huge laurels from India, the famous chocolate from Oaxaca as well as the mezcal with orange juice and worm salt. This is also a common venue for concerts or fireworks displays. Oaxaca’s museums and galleries hold many of the region’s most valuable treasures: from the jewels of Monte Albán to contemporary internationally distinguished artists. The small storefront art galleries are replete with wonderfully unique and provocative offerings. And the markets offer an incredible variety of colorful designs. Oaxaca is one of the richest places for arts and crafts in Mexico. Climate goes from semidry-semiwarm in the valleys, to humid in the east mountain chain. The average year temperature in the city of Oaxaca is 22ºC.

Santa María del TuleHere you can find one of Oaxaca’s natural wonders, the
massive 2000-year-old Cyprus tree “El Tule”. It is about 630 tons, 120 feet high and 144 feet around the trunk, the widest girth in the world. Make sure you get a child tour guide to show you the innumerable images in the trunk. It is located in the atrium of the church of Santa María de la Asunción, a Baroque-style church built in the18th century.

DaizuThis is a small archaeological site but very important
historically. It dates as far back as 600 BC. It seems possible that the site was occupied some centuries before the foundation of Monte Albán. Here you’ll find some carvings that may remind you of the Dancers’ Gallery at Monte Albán; these, however, depict ball players in action with balls in their hands and dressed in fine outfits. The most spectacular sights are the well-restored ball court and the Tumba del Jaguar (Tomb of the Jaguar), with the head of a jaguar perched above the door.
TlacochahuayaA religious, historical complex built by the Dominicans in
the 16th century. The temple features a Baroque-style façade. But Tlacochahuaya is renowned for its beautiful Plateresque altars and especially for the painting of San Jeronimo by native artist Juan de Arrue. The murals decorating the walls were painted with cochineal seedling. Make a point of seeing the beautifully painted baroque organ in the choir loft.

Teotitlán del ValleWeaving tradition in Teotitlán dates back to Pre-Hispanic times. For centuries the
families of the Zapotec weavers of Teotitlán have handed down the weaving tradition to their children. Century-old recipes are still used in the production of the natural dyes, which are obtained from marigold petals, añil, pomegranate zest, cochineal bug, seedpods, moss and pecan. You will find brightly colored rugs, some with native indigenous motifs and other with modern designs such as reproductions of famous artists like Tamayo, Frida Kahlo, Miró, Matisse, Toledo and Picaso. The town has more than 100 workshops showcasing a large selection of handmade products, including rugs, wall hangings, handbags, pillow covers, jackets, ponchos and dresses.There is a small community museum with an interesting exhibit of Pre-Hispanic objects and diverse objects related with the manufacture of textiles. The Preciosa Sangre de Cristo Church is well worth a visit. Its construction began in 1581 and was concluded in 1758. There are pre-Zapotec motifs in the walls since early friars used pre-Hispanic stones to build the church. On the side of the church is a small archeological area. Near to Teotitlán is El Pichacho Peak, considered to be sacred, and its peaks offers a panoramic view of the Tlacolula Valley. And the Piedra Azul Dam a perfect place for bird watching.
LambityecoEvidence suggests that Lambityeco was first occupied about 600 B.C. Its peak was
between 700 A.D. and 750 A.D. Lambityeco was originally a major trade center. It is confirmed that this city was a salt production center and that it provided up to 90% of the salt consumed in the valley between 600 and 700 AD. The salt was extracted from dirt named “tequezquite” located in the southern part of the site. The archaeological zone comprises about 197 mounds but most of them are covered by weed. It is notable for the extraordinary artistic quality shown in the various urns, engraved bones and mural paintings in tombs. The two main structures at Lambityeco are Mound 190 and Mound 195. The first one is an elite residence with the entrance flanked by two imposing Cocijo (the Zapotec rain god) masks wearing an impressive headdress.
Santa Ana del ValleA Zapotec community that has preserved its native language and traditions. There
are weavers who produce beautiful woolen rugs, woven in the traditional way and dyed with natural colors. The small, but beautiful, 18th century temple has a Baroque altarpiece and interesting oil paintings. In the town plaza is the Shan-Dany Community Museum with four small exhibits, focusing on archaeology, the Mexican Revolution, the village’s textiles, and the “Danza de la Pluma” (Feather Dance), where the dancers reenact the Spanish conquest. Open daily from 10:00 to 14:00 and from 15:00 to 18:00 hrs.
Route to Mitla
25 © 2015 All rights reserved. Contents can not bereproduced for commercial purposes. Índex
MitlaThe name is derived from the Nahuatl and means “place of the dead”. Mitla
was the main religious center, the residence of the ecclesiastical power. This site was at its peak between 950 and 1521 A.D. It is one of the architectural wonders of Mexico, is unique among Mesoamerican sites because the elaborate and intricate mosaic fretwork and geometric designs that cover tombs, panels, and even entire walls. These mosaics are made with small, finely cut and polished stone pieces, which have been fitted together without the use of mortar. There are five groups of buildings with a fence of cactus plants surrounding much of it. The five groups of constructions are called the South Group, the Adobe Group, the Arroyo Group, the Columns or Palace Group and the Church or North Group. The first two have been classified as ceremonial centers with central plazas surrounded by mound structures, and the other three have been classified as palaces with rooms surrounding square courtyards. In the 17th century the Church of San Pablo, was built on top of part of the ruins using some of the stones of the old Zapotec palaces.
YagulA former city-state associated with the Zapotec culture. Evidence shows that Yagul
flourished as an urban center after the downfall of Monte Albán (800 years A.D.). The site is set around a hill, and can be divided into three principal areas: The first is the fortress, located atop the cliffs, it has a breathtaking view over the whole Tlacolula Valley. The second, the Ceremonial center is an enormous man-made platform, with a number of large patios bordered by monumental architecture. And the third is the residential area.

The civic-ceremonial center is situated atop an artificially-leveled ridge, which with an elevation of about 1,940 m (6,400 ft.) above the seas level. The Main Plaza is delimited by large platforms, temples, elite residences, and ball courts. One characteristic of the site is the large number of carved stone monuments one encounters throughout the plaza, the so-called “Danzantes” (dancers), which represent naked men in contorted and twisted poses. Over 300 “Danzantes” stones have been recorded to date, and some of the better-preserved ones can be viewed at the site’s museum.
In the center of the Main Plaza is the building J and is undoubtedly one of the most interesting, because of its orientation and form, it is believed that the chamber to the rear was used for astronomic observations. The Palace is a structure with a central stairway and 13 chambers grouped around a central patio were used for priests and noble classes. The System IV, a temple-patio-altar complex, also features the talud-tablero (slope-panel) architectural style similar to those found in Teotihuacán.

LA GUELAGUETZA
Of Mexico’s many historic festivals La Guelaguetza is among the most evocative. The word Guelaguetza comes from the Zapotec language and is usually interpreted as the “reciprocal exchanges of gifts and services”.
This great cultural event involves re-enactments of legends and celebrates traditional music, dance, costume, craft and gastronomy from the seven regions and the different ethno linguistic groups in the state of Oaxaca: Valles Centrales (Central Valleys), Sierra Sur, Sierra Norte, Cañada, Mixteca (Mixtec), La Costa (The Cost), El Istmo (The Isthmus) and El Golfo (The Gulf).
During the festival, different ethnic groups wearing their traditional clothing perform folk dances that are particular to their region. At the end of the performance, each performing group distributes typical items from their region among the spectators.
There is an opening “calenda” or parade. Later as part of the celebration, there is also the presentation of the Legend of Donaji on each of the Monday nights in the Guelaguetza Auditorium. The Legend of Donaji is the story of the last Zapotec princess, full of light, sound, fireworks and drama.
The dances, concerts, art exhibits, culinary events, painting and theater create the cultural mosaic of this festival. It has earned a great reputation for its high artistic content and for presenting the races of the town of Oaxaca in an excellent manner.
Each year the Guelaguetza is celebrated on the two Mondays immediately following July 16, except when the first Monday falls on July 18, the day on which Benito Juárez the great Zapotec leader and first indigenous president of Mexico died. Out of respect for Oaxaca’s most revered native son, the celebrations are postponed for one week, falling on July 25 and August 1.
The celebration takes place in the Auditorio Guelaguetza, an outdoor auditorium that sits on a hill in Oaxaca city called Cerro del Fortin. This is a very special feature, because the spectators looking down at the stage can also appreciate a gorgeous view of the city below. The theater seats nearly 11,000, and is commonly used for musical, theater and art events. The auditorium has recently had a tarp-roof added to protect both spectators and performers from the hot sun. Nonetheless, taking sunscreen and a sunhat is advisable.

NOCHE DE RÁBANOS (Night of the Radishes)
This is one of the most unique celebrations in the world and takes place each December 23rd in the main square in the city of Oaxaca. The origin of this traditional contest is lost in the mists of time, but the first official celebration was in 1897. The official viewing begins at 5 p.m. and continues throughout the evening. It’s also a good idea to visit the zocalo in the early afternoon, and you’ll be able to watch the artisans put their masterpieces together. The event only lasts a few hours but draws most of the city’s population and the visitors, to the main square to look at the creations.
Local artisans show off elaborate artworks made of radishes. Dozens of booths display carvings representing elaborate religious or cultural scenes, like the complete nativity scenes,
Traditions in Oaxaca
Day of the Dead scenes, dancers at the Guelaguetza, musicians at a parade, cathedrals, miniature villages, agave farms, markets, mythological figures and even a radish version of painter Frida Kahlo. Trying to enrich the festival, in recent years, there are two other categories of folk art. The artisans fashion flor inmortal (dried flowers) and totomoxtle (corn husks) into a multitude of fanciful decorations that one can buy to take home.
Artisans of different neighborhoods or towns compete to win prizes, but mostly they compete to keep this feast of color and creativity alive. Once a winner has been chosen the Mexican skies light up with festive fireworks. The festival is filled with music, traditional dancing and lots of food, including deep-fried doughnuts drenched in syrup.
