Tlacolula de Matamoros Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Another from the Sunday Market in Tlacolula. If you're not already aware, it's probably the best market near Oaxaca, but what stands out the most for me is the "dining hall". I use that term very loosely, because I can't think of another title. Hot charcoal grills line the centre of the building that are used to cook what you just purchased from the stalls surrounding them. Delicious and interactive. #Mexico #Oaxaca #Tlacolula #Food

The Sunday market in Tlacolula, about a 15 minute bus ride outside of Oaxaca City for around 20pesos. It's huge, and a great place to meet some locals and buy some great food and wares. This guy was selling incredibly delicious honey out of his wheelbarrow, complete with honeycombs!

#lifeatexpedia #weloveourmarkets #latam #mexico #oaxaca #AboveitAll Hierve el Agua is a kind of ecotourism sanctuary where you will see the impressive structure of two waterfalls petrified by time. You will enjoy seeing this spectacular landscape and take some time to sit on a shore (if you endure the vertigo of its height, one of 12 and the other of 30 meters) and appreciate the immensity that surrounds them.
