TOURS -- GETTING OUT AND ABOUT ON YOUR OWN
Day
One (A Thursday) -- Zaachila, Cuilapam and Arrazola
If you rent a car or hire a taxi, or guide (see transport
above)you can easily
visit
each of
these
places
in
a day and have an all around wonderful time first experiencing the
excitement
of a
town
market
with some of the area's best ice cream for a late breakfast snack. Zaachila's
market is on thursday though the other two sites may be seen any day of the
week.
Moving
back
toward
Oaxaca
you'll
stop
by
Cuilapam
de
Guerrero
to
visit
an exquisite former monastery and church. Then it's on to Arrazola, a very
well
regarded crafts village, for some shopping perhaps and then back to Oaxaca for
a late siesta before dinner. Despite the relatively short distances to these
sites, it can easily become a
long
day
so
you might want to
think
about
picnic supplies before you leave town or take your chances at one of the roadside
eateries along the way.
TRANSLATIONS
Translation services are often vital in Mexico especially
if you run into any situations requiring the services of a lawyer.
Finding
a good
person to provide this service ahead of the time when they are
needed is probably a good idea.

a doubt this is one of the best airlines in the world -- nice people

miles from one to the other. Whenever you get a chance fly on Mexicana
with AA miles. You won't be disappointed.

Busses For In Town Destinations
Bus travel is very inexpensive costing only about US .50 per trip per person. Exact change is not necessary, but do try to have a twenty peso note or even something smaller to make things easier. With all of the road work going on, traditional bus stops may be moved. Ask folks where you want to go and where to wait for the bus. If you are going to rely on bus transportation talk to as many folks as you can before you head on out to take a trip.
Busses For Out of Town Destinations
In the city itself there are two main bus stations. The busiest and most chaotic is the second class terminal down by the Abastos market. In years past the station underwent some much needed improvements which made it really rather okay until you made your way outside and took a look at the bus you would be traveling in. Sometimes that was enough to freeze you in your tracks at least for a moment or two. Now all is much improved but for the extreme chaos in and around Abastos. Once you are in the terminal all will be well.
In the north of the city you'll find the other bus station, the A.D.O. This is the first class bus terminal where you will find only long distance bus service to such destinations as Huatulco, Puerto Escondido, Mexico City, Veracruz and more. Here you need to be EXTREMELY careful with your valuables. True experts in parting valuables from their owners thrive in this terminal and once you have lost something there is very little chance it will be recovered. Try not to put things you don't want to lose in an obvious place.
On average taxis in Oaxaca now cost between $25 and $35 Pesos/trip. That translates into under US $2.50 or 3.50 which makes using taxis very reasonable. Most of the drivers are very accommodating, polite and well trained for the job which can't be said of many places in the world these days. If you happen to take a ride with a good driver that seems accommodating ask him what he would charge to take you to one of the out of town destinations you have in mind. It should cost about $120 pesos/hour or about US $10.00. Here are some drivers we think you can have confidence in.
Sr.
Díaz,
Cel: 044(951)119-6274
This is a fellow that is cool under fire. I got into his car explaining
I had a back injury and despite a lunatic driver honking behind us,
he drove in a very reasonable way to get us home in one piece. And,
he was a very nice guy!
Reynaldo
Cel: 044(951)100-3164
We found this fellow while we waiting for a taxi down by Abastos
with our arms loaded. He was a sight for sore eyes! As it turned
out he was also a very pleasant person and a good driver. He speaks
about 50% English and often works as a driver for guests at local
hotels. Give him a call if you would like to travel out of town.
He knows all of the destinations you may be interested in and how
to get there comfortably.
Walking
This is the all time best way of getting around Oaxaca. The city lies in a huge valley surrounded by mountains so most of the walking you'll do in town is on flat streets. If you wish to go hiking in the mountains they are close by and very beautiful.
