| As one of Mexico's best-preserved and most charming colonial cities, Oaxaca is an inviting place to explore the country's rich heritage. Oaxaca is known for its magnificent climate, colonial buildings, archaeological sites, language learning institutes, and its handcrafts production. However, what makes this city a charming place to visit is its provincial feel and its commitment to retain its Pre-Hsipanic and Colonial traditions in this modern society.
