Oaxaca Travel Guide

Mexico

Oaxaca is a medium-sized inland city in southern Mexico, with a population of 262,566. Its location makes it a city break destination rather than a coastal resort base.

Most air travellers arrive through Oaxaca International Airport (OAX). There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres of the city, so beach visits require travelling beyond the immediate area.
