Oaxaca
Mezcal, mole and the strongest craft tradition in Mexico.
Travellers come here for food, culture, meeting people and nightlife.
When to go
Aim for February, January and December. Think twice about June, July and August — the wettest stretch of the year.

What it costs
Per person per day — a bed, food, getting around, and a share of one paid thing every third day.
These are GoReady's own estimates, not quotes. Nothing here is a price a provider has offered you — search the dates you actually want to see real ones.
