Enjoy nature in a safe environment full of flora and fauna
Benito Juárez National Park is located on forested land near the city of Oaxaca, in the municipalities of Oaxaca de Juárez, San Andrés Huayapam, and Tlalixtac de Cabrera. It covers 2,591 hectares that protect deciduous tropical forest, oak, and pine ecosystems, home to a wide variety of wild species.
The trails are marked, there are park rangers, and it's a safe and fun way to hike near the city without having to spend the whole day.
Depending on the time of year, it can be very lush and full of green plants and beautiful flowers (June-December) and full of autumn colours and very dry during the months of December to May.
The biodiversity of this area provides environmental services that promote air purification, hydrological and climate regulation, and the buffering of extreme events. Also, with its streams and springs, it helps supply water to a large part of the city of Oaxaca and its surrounding municipalities.
