Oaxaca is a food, craft, market, and archaeology city with Monte Alban, mezcal routes, courtyards, and strong street life. It works when the trip can slow down enough for meals to matter.
Do not assume Oaxaca can be handled as a simple cluster of adjacent stops. In Oaxaca, treat hours and movement as part of the itinerary. For Oaxaca, group stops by area and keep enough slack for closures, slow transport, and limited hours. This keeps the day flexible when transport, weather, or opening hours change.
