Guidebook for Oaxaca
Can anyone recommend a guidebook for Oaxaca? And any other suggestions or advice is much appreciated. We'll be there Nov. 5-10 for the first time.
Thanks |
I, too, have been looking for guides to Oaxaca. This is the only independent one I've found that's fairly current and for $4 Kindle and discounted as low as $6 otherwise, I figure it's worth a try:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/147...=ATVPDKIKX0DER Also, 2 days ago I received the latest LP guide for Mexico, just out this week, with lots of Oaxaca information: http://www.amazon.com/Lonely-Planet-...dp_ob_title_bk |
FWIW, although I haven't been to Oaxaca, I found the Moon Guide exceptionally good for the Yucatan and Chiapas. The Rough Guide and Lonely Planet were also helpful to me.
|
The Moon guide for Oaxaca is the best one, IMO. I have used it, supplemented by Lonely Planets guide, on multiple trips to Oaxaca over the years, as recently as last winter.

I don't know specifically for Oaxaca, but Moon is my favorite for the Pacific Coast side of Mexico. Sounds like others agree.
|
While it's not the newest edition, it sounds like people like the Moon guides and there's one for just the Oaxaca Valley. I think I'm going to order it. I went back and read reviews for 'Viva Oaxaca', not the ones below the book description on the Amazon page, but from the full list, and it sounds less useful. I hope the OP finds the recommendations above good too. Thanks y'all.

Is Viva Oaxaca the small and thinner book? If so, I have it also. But it is not as usefull all around as Moon. And there is so much good online info on Oaxaca to supplement.
|
There's a link in my first post above for 'Viva Oaxaca' on Amazon. I've now ordered the Moon guide.
