It was weird that we had to check after security and go to a corral which had no bathroom or other services about an hour before boarding. Had to check out of the corral to leave and check back in.

Declared a Unesco World Heritage Site, Oaxaca is a charming and beautiful example of a Mexican colonial city. Incredibly diverse, Oaxaca has been occupied since 1000 BC by the Zapotecs, the Mixtecs, the Aztecs, and of course the Spanish. This has lead to a city rich in cultural traditions and varied cuisine.
The Spanish designed the city around a central square, or Zócalo, which is one of the most attractive squares in Mexico. Surrounded by grand government buildings and bustling cafes and restaurants, the Zócalo is the central hub in Oaxaca. Leading away from the Zócalo, the city extends outwards in a grid formation. The colonial architecture that lines the streets in Oaxaca is of a unique style, the sturdy green stone structures built to survive the many earthquakes which have beset the city.
Travellers take flights to Oaxaca to experience its rich cultural history by visiting the famous festivals and celebrations that take place in the city year-round. The largest of all the festivals is the internationally renowned Guelaguetza – a celebration of dance, music and Oaxacan traditions.
Oaxaca is hot year-round, with average highs of 25°C in the winter, rising to 30°C in the summer. The winters tend to be warm and dry, and the summer months hotter and wetter, with the rainy season occurring from June through to October. The rainfall usually occurs in the afternoon and is fairly heavy, but tends to last just a couple of hours.
Centred around the Zócalo, Oaxaca is a city that is easy accessible on foot. Most of the most popular attractions are within walking distance of each other, and the grid-like layout of the city centre lends itself to getting around easily.
Taxis are regulated by the government but it is advisable to agree the fare with the driver before travelling. A cheaper way of getting to and from the airport is by collectivo, a group taxi, which will take you from the airport directly to your hotel.
