Departamento Reforma

Oaxaca de Juárez, or simply Oaxaca, is the capital and largest city of the eponymous Mexican state of Oaxaca. It is the municipal seat for the surrounding municipality of Oaxaca, the most populous municipality in Oaxaca, and the fourth most densely populated municipality in Oaxaca, only being less densely populated than San Jacinto Amilpas, Santa Lucía del Camino, and Santa Cruz Amilpas. It is in the Centro District in the Central Valleys region of the state, in the foothills of the Sierra Madre at the base of the Cerro del Fortín, extending to the banks of the Atoyac River.

As you explore the streets of Oaxaca, you'll notice the vibrant colors of the buildings and the intricate details of the churches and museums. The city is home to a variety of indigenous communities, each with their own unique traditions and crafts.

Oaxaca is also known for its delicious cuisine. You can't miss trying the famous mole sauce, made with a blend of over 20 ingredients including cocoa, chilies, and spices. And if you're feeling adventurous, you can try chapulines, a local delicacy of fried grasshoppers.
