What you can expect

Start at the Zócalo, the quintessential meeting point and stage for Oaxacan social and political life. Here, among music, conversations, and popular expressions, feel the true pulse of the city.

Very close by, visit the Metropolitan Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption, built with the emblematic green quarry stone that distinguishes Oaxaca and considered one of the most important jewels of its religious heritage.

Later, arrive at the San Pablo Cultural Centre dedicated to the conservation of local heritage. Continue to the Macedonio Alcalá Theatre, a reference for Oaxacan performing arts, recognised for its elegant art nouveau style and for being the stage where Mario Moreno “Cantinflas” debuted.

Then, visit the Temple of Santo Domingo, with its golden interior and impressive architecture, it is the emblem par excellence recognised internationally as a jewel of Mexican heritage.

Before continuing, visit the Institute of Graphic Arts of Oaxaca, created by Francisco Toledo, an ideal place to get closer to the art and cultural life of the city. Make a stop at the Temple of Carmen Alto, closely linked to the tradition of the Guelaguetza.

End at the Plaza Cruz de Piedra, a space full of colour and local atmosphere, perfect for continuing your walk through the Oaxacan streets and continuing to enjoy its essence.
