Plan your Oaxaca getaway with a real travel expert

Oaxaca is Mexico's culinary and craft heartland: seven kinds of mole, mezcal distilleries in the valleys, weaving villages like Teotitlán del Valle, and a UNESCO-listed colonial center full of courtyard hotels. Add the Zapotec ruins of Monte Albán above town and you have one of the most rewarding cultural trips in the Americas. Fond Travels packages your flights from the US with an Oaxaca City hotel and books it all in one call.

What an Oaxaca package can include

• Round-trip flights from the US to Oaxaca (OAX), often via Mexico City or Houston
• Boutique hotels and restored colonial mansions in the Centro, or quieter stays in Jalatlaco and Reforma
• Airport transfers, cooking classes, and guided market or mezcal tours
• Highlights: Monte Albán, Hierve el Agua rock formations, Mitla ruins, Tule tree, Sunday market at Tlacolula

Best time to go

October through April is dry and mild; Day of the Dead (late October to early November) and July's Guelaguetza festival are the big draws and book out months ahead. Summer brings afternoon showers and green valleys.

Where to stay

• Centro Histórico: walk to Santo Domingo church, the markets, and top restaurants
• Jalatlaco: cobbled, colorful, quieter, ten minutes' walk from the center
• Reforma: leafy residential streets with larger hotels and easy taxi access
