Oaxaca
Mexico’s southern state is known for its diverse natural landscapes. Mountain peaks, canyons, pristine beaches and tropical rainforests have shaped its topography, creating a fertile platform for rich biodiversity – the state is endowed with 50% of all Mexico’s plant and animal species. Oaxaca City offers a rich colonial charm and is located only nine kilometres from Monte Albán, a Maya city founded in 500BC, which is dotted with several hundred artificial terraces. Holidaymakers flock to Oaxaca’s pacific coast for its good surf, the string of vibrant holiday resort towns, and stretches of pristine coastline where sea turtles come to nest.
