Explore Oaxaca
Hwy-190 provides access to some of the most alluring villages of the Valle de Tlacolula, slicing some 45km east of Oaxaca towards Mitla, before cutting south to Tehuantepec and the coast. The route is well served by colectivos and buses from the second-class terminal (every thirty minutes or so), making day trips possible, even without a car. Check with the tourist office, or, for which village has a market on the day you’re going. If you want to explore the valley further, it’s a good idea to stay in one of the villages, some of which have self-catering facilities, which are as comfortable as many of Oaxaca’s budget hotels.
