Oaxaca, a Mexican state that has contended with obscurity for years, is slowly gaining popularity as a tourist destination. This town is an exemplar of Mexican culture, a destination that has successfully preserved the traditions of its people. Standing in the streets is a testament to the past of Oaxaca; buildings put up by the colonialists. However, the history of this region runs as far back as the year 500 BC. Certainly, this advanced age is seen in various archaeological sites and museums that are peppered around the state. This destination is perfect for those who are interested in themselves in a rich culture. Visit Oaxaca and spare a couple of days here.
