Mainecoons Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 Our Oaxaca amigos are bringing their oldest daughter, the Iteso student, back to school in mid January and the four of us are then planning a leisurely ride back to Oaxaca by car. We're doing some advanced planning and looking for tips. If you would have like 6 days between here and there, what would be your priority places to visit? Thanks.

bmh Posted December 10, 2017 Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 Check out the Dominican route starting in Northern Oaxaca state going down or up.. It has fabulous convents and interesting town in an area that is not travelled much.. Tecali south east of Puebla is the area where you have a zillion little talleres and large ones that work on onix. About 4 hours of Puebla in the sierra go to Cuetzalan a nice pueblo magico in a gorgeous setting, check out Hueyapan for its nice woolen shawls and sweaters. The coop on the plaza specialize in natural dyes.. Up around Cuetzalan you have ruins and indigenous villages with nice huipiles and other types of artesanías. If you like adventure go down Metepec , spend the night there and visit the talleres of clay work, tree of life etc. them go to Ixtapan a spa town and then Taxco then down the autopista to Acapulco and do the Costa Chica to Puerto Escondido or Mazunte and then back up to Oaxaca. via Pochutla and north.. there are several textile villages along the coast and in the hill around Ometepec..and San Pedro Amusgo Or take the road south of Puebla and to to Guelatao where Benito Juárez was born via Ixtepec. or go to Vera Cruz Boca del Rio visit Tlacotalpan the famous pueblo mágico , Unesco town then go down to the Tuxtlas , Catemaco and then Ixtepec to Oaxaca via Guelatao.

bmh Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 Dennis I hope the artisans you will be seeing live in a village and that they invite you to a posada, those are wonderful, the procession goes through the village and then there is the feast..
