dusky wrote:for Oaxaca de Juarez I recommend staying somewhere in the vicinity of the north and northwestern side of Centro. Xochimilco, close to Jardin Conzatti, is a pretty hip, very cute and convenient location, or in La Paz near Mercado Sanchez and the best bakery in town, Pan Con Madre. Also nearby the latter location is a really cool bookshop, sometimes music venue, restaurant (with lots of veg options) collective called La Jicara. I really enjoyed my stay in the area. we also stayed in La Jalatlaco which was very cute, but a little sleepy and on the eastern edge of where we really spent most of our city time. worth checking out for sure. the neighborhood and food market around basilica nuestra señora de la soledad, just west of centro, is cool to check out if you have the time.
aside from wondering and discovering the many little gems around town i'd recommend a visit to Centro de las Artes de San Agustín, a really awesome art space just north of town (but make sure they are open, when we went they were going to be closing due to COVID the following week. i would pass up El Tule. it was a bit of a tourist trap and the pretty park with the big tree was completely closed and they had a bunch of boards blocking the view of the tree. really wish i hadn't wasted that time, but might be worth it if the park is open.
there was this really amazing antique store just south of the botanical gardens, i think it's Antigüedades Oaxaca, but i don't exactly recognize the street view. i'm not a picker or anything, but the space was really a trip to just peruse through at least.
Boogie Cafe is cool.
for a fancy dinner i'd highly recommend Tierra del Sol Casa Restaurante. El Escapulario for a cute home-style meal.
one more big rec i will give, if it's not too late: don't look at any photos of the inside of cathedral of Santo Domingo de Guzmán before you go in for the first time.
I went to Monte Alban but apparently got there too late and the max number of visitors was reached by 10am. apparently you need to get there by like 7am...
oh and if you are wanting to get a rad tattoo, hit up the amazing Mica Tzara

dosbrains wrote:Went to Tulum right before the pandemic started for a wedding. It's kind of a clubby yoga wellness hell, but you can definitely find some interesting things to do there. Arca on the main strip was really good for food and drinks, but definitely as expensive as any nice restaurant you'd find in a major US city.
We did this one boat tour of a lagoon at this nature preserve about 20 minutes south of Tulum that was awesome. It was a little bit complicated to figure out, as you had to walk through some ruins and a jungle for a bit to get to the water, but definitely worth it. You finish by getting out of the boat and floating down these Mayan-dug canals through a big mangrove, which was probably my favorite part of the trip. We convinced other people that were at the wedding to to do this as well, and they all loved it. Here are some very complicated instructions: https://www.roamingaroundtheworld.com/how-to-visit-sian-kaan-biosphere-preserve/
