    In our third and final Oaxaca, Mexico vlog-not forever, just from this trip-we visited El Arbol de Tule, enjoyed more delicious Oaxacan food, gawked at the beautiful interior of Templo de Santo Domingo, and chatted about Oaxaca City as a whole.
    The majority of this video is an in-depth look at:
    1. Oaxaca City and how it compares to other Mexican cities we’ve visited.
    2. What we like and dislike about Oaxaca
    3. Would we live in Oaxaca?
    4. What we think of the food, culture, art, walkability, rentals, transportation, and more.
    Be sure to watch the first two videos we made in Oaxaca City, Mexico if you want to see more of this magical city. In these two videos, we visit nearby cities filled with rich culture and traditions, try TONS of tasty food in Oaxaca, and explore the city on foot.

    We're SUPER excited to experience the Day of the Dead festivities in Oaxaca this year! Last year we went to Aguascalientes for one of the biggest celebrations in the country but we hear that Oaxaca is one of the best places to be.

    I live in Oaxaca. I’ve counted over 40 “atmospheric” BYOD Coffee places (bring your own Dog), Day Of The Dead with a view from a Balcony in a Mezcal tasting room on the walking street Macedonio Alcala is other Worldly, a simple street Taco lunch at “Tacos Del Carmen” makes a satisfying lunch ...
    The Stamp Museum, the events and exhibits at the Biblioteca Henestrosa ate worthwhile, the many neighborhood tasting room “nooks” you stumble upon, the daily (especially seasonally) Parades with the outdoor Dance practice sites and Parade Schools to learn Folkloric dancing (Jordan inside a Giant Spinning Puppet?), aerial fireworks displays, Music festivals all night long, small film screening venues, the ancient cities of Mitra and Monte Alban, the exquisite weaving of Teotitlan and rent a “Bici” for the near nightly (9-9:30 PM) mass Bicycle rides through the streets of El Centro in front of Santa Domingo/Brujula ecorted by motorcycle Police and a towed Amp for music leading off the Grouo ride - ending off a a cool Colonial no host bar someplace, maybe an Art museum for kibitzing ... ugh, too much!
    As an alternative to Air B&B try a Hotel for short or longer residence stay on the walking street “Alcala”, like Hotel Villa de Campo which has 14 garden apartments with, kitchen, Pool featuring daily housecleaning (sheets, towels, soap & shampoo) for about $400 monthly. A good A B&B alternative.
    The cool Mystic pine-y mountain town of San Jose Del Pacifico, perched above the Pacific Beaches, is 3 hrs by economical Collectivo Vans from Oaxaca Centro (ask a street Info kiosk for directions and a map). Famous for Temescal steam baths , Magic Mushrooms and awesome views. Puerto Escondido (Beaches!) are just below by 4 hr collective shuttle vans. Back/Forth from the Beach to/from Oaxaca (or Mexico City) from the Airports can be made in only 35 min via small 12-passenger Charter planes. Or short-haul regular passenger jets. Amazingly quick and easy.
    Daily rains are seasonal and not lasting all day - many months go by without a drop of rain or humidity. And here ~ we are “Mandarini’s” - Tang is an Astronaut Beverage.
    Come back soon!

    My wife and I visited Oaxaca last fall and had a great time. It was just what we were looking for - True Mexican culture.
    I could see some people from the U.S. not appreciating Oaxaca city. No beach, few gringos, no "gringo-style" hotels, no Taco Bell or Denny's, ultra-capitolism. This is real Mexico.
    The amount of culture cannot be captured on a 22 min video. I love churches. We took collectivos or inter-city busses to outer cities to see their specialities, eat and chat with locals. The food (tlyudas and molé) are different than we're used to in the states and you just have to enjoy a "market meal".

    You nailed it one more time. I love your narrative and the way you enjoy your Oaxaca experience, it makes us live it with you. I went with my grandma and my brother when I was 12 y/o. We spent almost 2 weeks in. Oaxaca, the whole state. It was really special for me because it was the last time my abuelita could travel. She passed away like 6 or 7 months later. Watching your video it was like being there.........with her. Thanks guys from the bottom of my heart for bringing those memories back. God bless you and keep traveling and enjoying life to the fullest.

    Thanks a lot for coming to my hometown!! As you could see, there’s a lot more to see. If you’re planing on coming back, I’d like to take you to the town where I work, Zaachila, 20 minutes away from downtown, especially in Easter. You’ll definitely fall in love with people’s hospitality.
    Día de Muertos is also one of the best seasons to come.
    Please, let me know. I’ll be so delighted to be your guide. I’m not making my life as a guide by the way. I simply enjoy welcoming people to my town since a lot of people have been so nice to me when I travel abroad and that’s a way to give it back to the life.
    Please, be welcome. ☺️❤️

    For Mexican standards, Oaxaca has some of the most honest people. There's less chance of getting scammed or robbed, at least compared to other places in Mexico. Taxi drivers are not exactly little angels (they keep Uber out using literal physical violence) but yeah, they're fairly honest and just do their work without trying to squeeze out money from you.

    • @TangerineTravels
      @TangerineTravels  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It did seem like an honest city during our experiences there. That's always a nice environment to be in. Sounds like the cab driver vs. Uber situation is just like what it was in Quintana Roo. We heard cab drivers used to order Ubers just to beat the crap out of the driver. So sad :/ That said, we were pleasantly surprised not to encounter many issues when using taxis in Oaxaca

I also liked to read the comments bellow written by a non-mexican audience, it helps to shift my point of view. By the way, I have traveled to many other countries in different continents and I have to admit that one of the most magical experiences that I have had was in Oaxaca(Sierra Mazateca, Cd de Oaxaca, Mazunte, San José del Pacífico etc), altough I haven´t been there since 2006(1st visit 1995); it surely have had a huge change.

    Hi from FNQ Australia.
    I was in Oaxaca about 3 years ago and loved it. As you say the culture and food are very unique to that part of Mexico and it was there that I realized Mexico has such a vast array of cultures, foods, traditions, peoples, arts ect than I'd ever expected.
    One thing that really did stick out about Oaxaca and that was the NOISE. Apparently nothing special was happening, just normal Oaxaca, but there was some serious noise in that city. Even at the time however I did find it hugely funny. Like being woken up by a brass band walking down the street playing at 5am! Or the relentless fireworks day and night from Iglesia Jalatlaco across the street. Or the milk venders with their cow horns. The list is endless - Loud City.
    I'm not complaining about the noise, it was just very memorable.
    - Like the vibrant Colours and beautiful Ventanas of Puebla - an urban photographers paradise.
    - The endless history and life of Mexico City - could spend months and not see it all.
    - The clear, calm, warm turquois waters of Playa de Carmen & Mujeures.
    - The noises and tastes of Oaxaca
    - The coolness of San Cristobal de las Casas
    - The humid jungles of Chiapas with their hidden ruins, leaf cutting ants and tropical insect noises.
    So many memorable places in Mexico, such an amazing country.
    Love watching your videos guys as it brings so many good memories back.

    Maddy & Jordan,
    Great review!
    I, for one, would love to read both of your honest thoughts about your (housing) stay and host in Oaxaca Centro. That would help me a lot to pick the right place to stay.

    I am blessed to have one of Señor Manuel Jimenez’s carved and painted animals from almost 40 years ago. We hired a driver to take us to his town, after reading about him in the New York Times, we picked the animal we wanted (giraffe) and the raw wood and went back a week later to get our treasure where he took us in to his little chapel and blessed us. I still have my beautiful turquoise carving, and it does look more primitive than some of the current intricately painted animals I have collected.
    We stayed at the El Presedente hotel off the Oaxaca square...I understand the old nunnery is no longer a hotel...but it was wonderful to be so close to town. One of my favorite Mexican cities, ever.
    I agree the food was divine.

      Arleysi - thanks so much! Hope you had a great time there.
      Howard - In my opinion, Ajijic and Chapala both have their Mexico charm. Sure there are _lots_ of expats, but the Mexican culture is alive and well. We were totally expecting a big retirement community and hardly any Mexicans living there but it still seemed like a good mix. ~M

    Better late than never viewing this COOL Vid Maddie and Jordan! The Tule tree, wow estimating its age at 1,500 years places that seed that germinated, grew first into a small, tender sapling, 1,002 years later and the Spanish arrive in Cem Anáhuac(The One World), I'm glad its still alive, kinda like a giant Norfolk Pine here in Querétaro, during the 60s and 70s the municipal authorities would always decorate the huge pine with christmas lights, but either late 70s or early80s the city fathers were concerned it was dying(very few leaves)so analyzing the possible problems turns out the heat from the lights was drying the tree up, fortunately the tree is no longer decorated and its revived itself. Although compared to Grandfather Tule, the Norfolk Pine is a baby! The interior of Santo Domingo is so beautiful, no wonder it took 200 years to finish the church and yeah, the glimpse of the food ya guys got looked so good! As for the tangerine colored t-shirts, like the one Laska was modeling, YES, make some the 3 T's, really AWESOME! :D

Les faltan lugares como hierve el agua, Mitla, Teotitlan, Zaachila, Ocotlán, etc., pero también están los lugares ecoturísticos como la sierra Benito Juárez, no muy lejos de la ciudad, donde encontrarán cabañas para hospedarse, así como San José del Pacífico, excelente lugar para conectarse con la naturaleza; así como la region de la Costa: Puerto escondido, Huatulco, Mazunte, etc., etc., no dejen de visitar este bello estado, porque Oaxaca lo tiene todo.
