Frequently Asked Questions about hostels in Oaxaca

  • What are the most affordable attractions for backpackers to visit in Oaxaca, Mexico?

    For budget travelers in Oaxaca, exploring the Centro Histórico is free! Wander through the Zocalo, admire the Santo Domingo Cultural Center (though entry has a fee, you can enjoy the exterior), and check out the many free churches. The 20 de Noviembre Market offers an immersive cultural experience and cheap eats. Hiking up to Monte Albán, while having an entrance fee, is relatively inexpensive and offers stunning panoramic views. Consider visiting smaller, less-touristy villages like Teotitlán del Valle (famous for its rugs) or San Bartolo Coyotepec (known for its black pottery), where you can experience authentic Oaxacan life without breaking the bank.
  • What are the best hostels in Oaxaca?

    Among the hostels in Oaxaca, Casa Losodeli & Coworking- Adults Only, Azul Cielo Hostel and Iguana Hostel Oaxaca are the most popular ones.

  • What are some unmissable, lesser-known spots in Oaxaca, Mexico?

    Many visitors miss the Hierve el Agua, petrified waterfalls with natural pools. It's a bit of a journey, but worth it for the stunning scenery and less crowded experience. The ruins of Yagul are another hidden gem, offering a quieter alternative to Monte Albán. In the city itself, explore the less-visited churches like the Templo de la Soledad or wander through the quieter neighborhoods like Jalatlaco, known for its artisan workshops and charming streets.
  • What are the best hostels with a pool in Oaxaca?

    Casa Losodeli & Coworking- Adults Only, El Cielo Oaxaca and Tower Bridge Hostel are the best hostels with a pool in Oaxaca.

  • What fun and budget-friendly events or festivals are happening in Oaxaca, Mexico?

    Oaxaca's calendar is packed with festivals! The Guelaguetza, a massive indigenous celebration held in July, is famous but can be expensive. However, many smaller, equally vibrant community celebrations happen throughout the year. Look for local fiestas in smaller villages, often centered around religious holidays. These usually involve traditional music, dance, and delicious food at very reasonable prices.
  • What are the best hostels with a jacuzzi in Oaxaca?

  • What’s the ideal length of stay to get a full experience of Oaxaca, Mexico?

    A week allows for a good exploration of Oaxaca city and its surroundings. However, to truly appreciate the region's diversity, including day trips to places like Hierve el Agua or Monte Albán, and exploring smaller villages, two weeks would be ideal. Three weeks would allow for a more relaxed pace and deeper exploration of the culture and surroundings.

    Absolutely! Many workshops offer hands-on experiences in pottery making (especially black pottery in San Bartolo Coyotepec), weaving (Teotitlán del Valle is renowned for its rugs), and cooking traditional Oaxacan dishes. You can easily find these workshops by exploring the neighborhoods and asking locals for recommendations.
  • How can you dive deeper into the culture and connect with locals in Oaxaca, Mexico?

    Take a Spanish class! Even a few basic phrases will significantly enhance your interactions. Engage with locals in markets, visit smaller villages, and participate in community events. Staying in a smaller, family-run hotel or guesthouse can also provide opportunities for interaction and cultural exchange.
  • Which restaurants and bars in Oaxaca, Mexico offer the best local cuisine?

    Oaxaca's culinary scene is incredible! For mole, try Los Danzantes or Pitiona. For a more casual and affordable option, explore the many street food stalls in the markets, especially 20 de Noviembre Market. Many smaller restaurants in the neighborhoods offer authentic and delicious meals at reasonable prices. Don't be afraid to venture off the main tourist streets.
  • What unique packing tips should you keep in mind for Oaxaca, Mexico?

    Pack comfortable walking shoes – you'll be doing a lot of walking! Bring layers, as the temperature can fluctuate, especially at higher altitudes. Sunscreen and a hat are essential, especially during the day. Consider bringing a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated, and a small phrasebook or translation app can be helpful.
