Explore⁩⁦ a large pre-Columbian archaeological site in the Santa Cruz Xoxocotlán Municipality⁩⁦ in the southern ⁩⁦Mexican⁩⁦ state of ⁩⁦Oaxaca.

Located about 40 miles from Oaxaca, Hierve el Agua makes a great day trip from the city. Here, you'll see two waterfall-like rock formations which were formed when mineral-rich water spilled over the cliffs and trickled down the mountainside. At the top, you can take a dip in the man-made pools while enjoying awe-inspiring views.

Mercado 20 de Noviembre is a food market. Here you can find bread, mezcal, fruits, chocolate, ready-made moles, or just a quick delicious bite. Try a tlayuda while you're here!

This is the largest market in Oaxaca city centre. You can find clothing, Oaxacan handcrafts, flowers, chilis, spices, and more.
