As a World Heritage Site, Oaxaca is a superb tourist destination with history, culture, food, art, and crafts. For ancient ruins Oaxaca has pre-Columbian sites. Oaxaca is rich in colonial era architecture. The unique cuisine is home to mole, chocolate, and mescal. Oaxacan art boasts 3 great Mexican painters, Tamayo, Morales, and Toledo. Crafts include rug weaving, woven fabrics and embroidery, jewelry, pottery, woodcarvings, and basketry. I'll introduce Oaxaca with words, links and photos.
