Oaxaca City is located in southern Mexico and is the capital of the eponymous Mexican state of Oaxaca. The state is best known for its indigenous peoples and cultures Zapotec and Mixtec, as well as for the traditional Oaxacan food. The city is often called the food capital of Mexico.
Oaxaca, together with the nearby archeological site of Monte Albán, was designated in 1987 as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Oaxaca city is a very lively and pretty place where you can wander around the colorful streets and spend time in the city's main square Zocalo, have a delicious Mexican dish and enjoy the vibrant ambiance.
Oaxaca is also home of mezcal and where more than 90% of all Mexico mezcal is produced. Mezcal is the national spirit of Mexico.
Mezcal is a distilled alcoholic beverage. It is made from agave (specifically Agave americana)
Tequila is a form of mezcal, though they are distilled differently — mezcal is cooked in an underground oven, and tequila is boiled.
You can join one of the many mezcal tours, learn about the process of making and taste different sorts of mezcal drinks.
The video also features the archaeological site and ruins of Mitla, which is located about 44km from Oaxaca and is associated with the Zapotec and Mixtec cultures.
The video ends with a visit of Tule, located also in the state of Oaxaca. The city is popular with its "Tree of Tule" one of the world's oldest trees, considered to be more than 2000 years old.
