10 Reasons to Visit Oaxaca, Mexico 10 Reasons to Visit Oaxaca, Mexico One Of Mexico’s Most Vibrant Regions Is Waiting To Be Rediscovered The State of Oaxaca, one of Mexico’s most culturally rich and diverse regions, was severely damaged by earthquakes in September 2017. However, after reconstruction, Oaxaca is ready to welcome visitors. 1 OF 10 Chic Beachfront Hotels WHERE: Puerto Escondido Part of the hip GrupoHabita hotel group, Hotel Escondido’s 16 eco-chic bungalows are set on an undisturbed stretch of beach outside Puerto Escondido on the road to Pinotepa National Park. The understated hotel appeals to guests looking for secluded luxury and plenty of wow factor, with private plunge pools, an underground bar, and a rugged setting. The onsite restaurant’s new menu features coastal cuisine in a fusion of Nayarit and Michoacan influences with Oaxacan flavors. Must-try dishes include baby crawfish tacos and risotto of chicatanas (black ants) with pulpo (octopus). 2 OF 10 Modern Art WHERE: Puerto Escondido Although best known for its big-wave surfing, Oaxaca’s coast is fast-becoming a hub for innovative art. While windswept Roca Blanca beach northwest of Puerto Escondido is where contemporary Mexican artist Gabriel Orozco built Casa Observatorio, his stunning private vacation home modeled on an astronomical observatory, the coast’s latest architectural showstopper is open to visitors. Renowned Mexican artist BoscoSodi is the vision behind Casa Wabi, the studio retreat and contemporary gallery awarded “Best New Museum in Central and Southern Mexico” in the recent Leading Culture Destinations Awards. Designed by Japanese celebrity architect Tadao Ando, the gallery’s soaring space made of concrete and palapa palm fronds will serve as a dramatic backdrop for the highly anticipated 2018 exhibition by UgoRondinone, the Swiss artist known for his large-scale installations merging fantasy and color. 3 OF 10 Zapotec Cooking Classes WHERE: Huatulco Dive into local indigenous Zapotec culture in a hands-on Chiles & Chocolate Cooking Classes featuring an exploration of southern Mexican cuisine. Learn how to use regional ingredients such as nopal (cactus), chapulines (toasted grasshoppers) and Pacific Coast shrimp to make street food, party fare, and traditional main dishes. Although damaged by flooding in 2017, the newly rebuilt Chiles & Chocolate kitchen in the pueblo of Zimitan on the outskirts of the Bahia de Huatulco’s hotel zone now offers expansive river views and relaxed dining beneath a graceful 200-year old huayacan tree. Friday evening Village-to-Table dinners feature tastes of regional specialties such as tinchuiche, a tiny anchovy-like river fish that packs a wallop of flavor. INSIDER TIP - The Chiles & Chocolate cooking school is the spot to score a jar of artisanal sea salt crafted by the Huatulco Sea Salt Company. Locally-harvested and infused with flavors such as jamaica (hibiscus flower) and romero (rosemary), it sells out fast in boutiques around town. 4 OF 10 Beachfront Luxury WHERE: Vivo Resorts - Puerto Escondido Vivo Resorts Oaxacan Beachfront Living In the past, beachgoers had limited options when it came to luxury digs in Puerto Escondido. But the arrival of Vivo Resorts nine miles north of Puerto Escondido has changed everything. This contemporary property features spacious suites with balconies, granite kitchens, and onyx bathrooms as well as a beachfront infinity pool. With the launch of Vivo’s new Clubhouse in December 2017, there’s even more to like. Most impressive is the airy new lobby with views of both mountains and sea. The hotel also features a restaurant with Oaxacan cuisine, a sleek lobby bar, and a full-service spa, fitness club, yoga studio, tennis courts, kid’s club, and more. Other draws to the property include eco-adventures in nearby Laguna de Manialtepec, a glowing bioluminescent lagoon, or horseback riding and bird-watching. A shuttle bus whisks guests into Puerto Escondido to shop at Benito Juarez Mercado, a sprawling market packed with authentic goods like Oaxacan stringy cheese and shrimp plucked fresh from the waters of Salina Cruz. 5 OF 10 Coffee Culture WHERE: Huatulco With the aroma of fresh roasted coffee wafting out of the open doorways of its shops, Pluma Hidalgo must be Mexico’s most fragrant town. While coffee has shaped the culture, traditions, and landscape of this pueblo in the highlands of the Sierra Madre Sur Mountains, it’s not the only reason to head for the hills above Huatulco. Artisanal mezcal, bird-watching, and hiking are also big draws. To get to Pluma Hidalgo, it’s wise to take an organized tour, such as HomieTours’s Three Levels excursion. On this full-day adventure, a local indigenous Zapotec guide navigates from Bahia Santa Cruz along the winding highway (still under post-earthquake repair ) into the cloud forest where you’ll taste some of the world’s best coffee. You’ll also stop at Santa Maria Huatulco (founded in 1539), home to the Church of Immaculate Conception and vibrant folk murals depicting the region’s rich history. 6 OF 10 Oaxaca City WHERE: Oaxaca City Surrounded by dramatic mountains and dotted with leafy plazas flanked by historic 16th-century buildings, Oaxaca City is one of Mexico’s most fascinating colonial cities. While reconstruction of fragile historical monuments damaged by the earthquakes will continue through 2020, the good news is that many buildings such as the beautiful baroque Santo Domingo Church are open and others such as MacedonioAlcalá Theater are scheduled to open in early 2018. Impact at archaeological sites such as Monte Albán, the ancient home of the “cloud people” was minimal, and it’s business as usual for archeological sites and textile villages. Food fans will want to try street food such as tlayudas, memelas, and tamales from Oaxaca City’s best vendors. 7 OF 10 Isthmus of Tehuantepec WHERE: Juchitan With more than 50% of the homes damaged by the September 7th earthquake, the city of Juchitán and other communities on the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, the long peninsula in southeast Oaxaca are facing a long road to recovery. However, debris is being removed and reconstruction is underway, so the new focus is on economic rebuilding. Visitors can help with the recovery by purchasing the region’s beautifully embroidered and woven huipils (blouses), created by the region’s skilled local artisans. Shop the market in Juchitán (now operating in a public park) and learn about the indigenous textile traditions of the Mixtec weavers of the Oaxaca Coast on a special in-depth journey with Tia Stephanie Tours in 2018. 8 OF 10 Environmentally-Friendly Hotels WHERE: Huatulco With much of its coastline protected from development, the Bahias de Huatulco (Bays of Huatulco) was the first resort destination in the Americas to obtain International Green Globe Certification. It continues to be at the forefront of sustainable tourism with Dreams Huatulco Resort & Spa recently achieving 100% compliance with Rainforest Alliance standards for environmental, social, and economic sustainability. At the Barcelo Huatulco Beach Resort next door, they’ve eliminated plastic straws in all bars and restaurants as part of a sea turtle conservation initiative (straws are a hazard for sea turtles who mistake them for food), while at Secrets Huatulco Resort & Spa on Conejos Bay, guests don’t even need to leave the property to do their bird watching. A new jungle observatory features a wooden boardwalk that’s ideal for spotting many of Oaxaca’s 800 species of birds. 9 OF 10 Sea Turtle Fever WHERE: Puerto Escondido The opportunity to witness a sea turtle nesting or watch a baby sea turtle toddle its way to the sea is a great way to combine marine conservation with fun in the sun. Oaxaca is home to nesting beaches for four of the world’s seven species of sea turtles, which means you’re likely to encounter a sea turtle at some point during a visit. Although a tsunami alert was issued for Oaxaca’s coast post-earthquake, the alert was canceled quickly, leaving nesting beaches undamaged. Top spots for prime sea turtle action include Playa Bococho in Puerto Escondido and La Escobilla Beach, a protected sanctuary for the world’s largest nesting site for olive ridley turtles, located near Gecko Rock Resort. Check with the Tourist Information Booth on the Adoquin flanking Playa Principal in Puerto Escondido for more information. 10 OF 10 Mezcal Distillery Tours WHERE: Oaxaca City Sipping mezcal from a gourd at a family-owned palenque (distillery) is the best way to appreciate the earthy nuances of this agave spirit. Mezcal expert Alvin Starkman, who heads up Mezcal Educational Tours, leads in-depth forays from Oaxaca City to artisanal distilleries tucked within Oaxaca’s central valleys. There, participants can observe the roasting of maguey piñas in earthen pits, see the operation of traditional stone mills, and learn about distillation in traditional copper stills. In addition to sampling joven (unaged), reposado (oak barrel aged for 6 months), and añejo (aged more than a year) mezcal, adventurous types can earn bragging rights by sampling rare varieties such as mezcal de pechuga, produced by using a raw chicken breast in the distillation process to create a delicate and fruity mezcal that’s highly prized for baptisms, weddings, and special occasions. Other memorable experiences include sampling pulque, the fermented pre-Hispanic beverage that’s making a comeback in Mexico City’s trendiest bars..

  • The Challenges of Educational Progress in Oaxaca, Mexico
    Government versus Teachers: The Challenges of Educational Progress in Oaxaca, Mexico Alison Victoria Shepherd University of Leeds This paper considers education in the Mexican state of Oaxaca and the effects that an active teachers' union has had upon not only the education of the primary and secondary schools that the teachers represent, but also on higher educational policy in the state. The difference between rhetoric and reality is explored in terms of the union as a social movement, as well as the messy political environment in which it must operate. Through the presentation of a case study of a public higher education initiative, it is argued that the government's response to the teachers' union has included a “ripple effect” throughout educational planning in order to suppress further activism. It is concluded that the prolonged stand-off between the union and the government is counterproductive to educational progress and has turned the general public's favor against the union, in contrast to support for other movements demanding change from the government. Introduction Mexico has a turbulent history of repression and resistance, from the famed 1910 Revolution against the Spanish-dominated dictatorship producing Robin Hood type figures such as Emiliano Zapata, to the 1999 indigenous Zapatista Uprising in Chiapas, named after the aforementioned hero of the previous rebellion (Katzenberger, 2001). In the neighboring region of Oaxaca, teachers had been organizing and demanding change from their government. For over twenty years they have continued to struggle for improvements in infrastructure, materials, working conditions and pay. However, a growing resentment has accumulated amongst students and their families as days camping outside of government offices means increasingly lost learning time being absent from school.

  • Mineralogy and Origin of the Titanium
    MINERALOGY AND ORIGIN OF THE TITANIUM DEPOSIT AT PLUMA HIDALGO, OAXACA, MEXICO by EDWIN G. PAULSON S. B., Massachusetts Institute of Technology (1961) SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE at the MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY May 18, 1962 Signature of At r . Depardnent of loggand Geophysics, May 18, 1962 Certified by Thesis Supervisor Ab Accepted by ...... Chairman, Departmental Committee on Graduate Students M Abstract Mineralogy and Origin of the Titanium Deposit at Pluma Hidalgo, Oaxaca, Mexico by Edwin G. Paulson "Submitted to the Department of Geology and Geophysics on May 18, 1962 in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science." The Pluma Hidalgo titanium deposits are located in the southern part of the State of Oaxaca, Mexico, in an area noted for its rugged terrain, dense vegetation and high rainfall. Little is known of the general and structural geology of the region. The country rocks in the area are a series of gneisses containing quartz, feldspar, and ferromagnesians as the dominant minerals. These gneisses bear some resemblance to granulites as described in the literature. Titanium minerals, ilmenite and rutile, occur as disseminated crystals in the country rock, which seems to grade into more massive and large replacement bodies, in places controlled by faulting and fracturing. Propylitization is the main type of alteration. The mineralogy of the area is considered in some detail. It is remarkably similar to that found at the Nelson County, Virginia, titanium deposits. The main minerals are oligoclase - andesine antiperthite, oligoclase- andesine, microcline, quartz, augite, amphibole, chlorite, sericite, clinozoi- site, ilmenite, rutile, and apatite.

SYMPOSIUM: STUDIES ABOUT OAXACA AND NEIGHBORING AREAS (continuation). COORDINATOR: LAURA RODRÍGUEZ CANO, M.A. ABSTRACT: The following paper is a first attempt to know which are the boundaries shared by the states of Oaxaca and Guerrero, as well as which communities from both states have had conflicts and which are the different ways of naming these boundaries. The ultimate goal is to know in greater depth the relationships that existed in the past between the communities of Oaxaca and Guerrero. This analysis is based on a book from the 19th century entitled Arbitraje sobre los límites territoriales entre los estados de Guerrero y Oaxaca [arbitration on the territorial boundaries between the states of Guerrero and Oaxaca], a document kept in the National Library (reserved section). “An approximation to the geopolitical analysis of the boundaries between Guerrero and Oaxaca” The book called Arbitraje pronunciado por el general Mucio P. Martínez sobre los límites territoriales entre los estados de Guerrero y Oaxaca [Arbitration given by general Mucio P. Martínez about the territorial boundaries between the states of 1 Guerrero and Oaxaca] was published in Puebla in 1890F F. This is a document dealing with the technical and legal process of revising the boundaries that form the dividing line between the states named above. This process was undertaken in the last two decades of the 19th century. 1 This book is in the National Library of Mexico in the collection of reserved access. Figure 1.

  • Administración Portuaria Integral De Salina Cruz, S.A. De C.V
    CUENTA PÚBLICA 2018 ADMINISTRACIÓN PORTUARIA INTEGRAL DE SALINA CRUZ, S.A. DE C.V. INTRODUCCIÓN 1. RESEÑA HISTÓRICA Con una historia que data de principios del siglo pasado, el puerto de Salina Cruz, ha experimentado etapas muy diversas e incluso contrastantes, que se explican fundamentalmente por su ubicación en el extremo occidental nacional, en la franja más angosta del territorio mexicano. Esta característica le ha significado el tomar parte en varios proyectos de gran alcance que se han enfocado en la posibilidad de crear un puente terrestre para canalizar los vigorosos tráficos comerciales interoceánicos a través del llamado “Corredor Transístmico” o del Istmo de Tehuantepec. Durante el porfiriato, en la primera década del siglo pasado, se finalizaron las obras portuarias en ambos extremos del corredor y se inició el proceso de urbanización de Salina Cruz. Sin lugar a duda el principal “rol” que a la fecha ha llegado a desempeñar el Puerto de Salina Cruz en el Sistema Portuario Nacional por su aporte a la actividad económica tiene que ver con su función de distribuidor de petrolíferos en el pacífico. En esta función el puerto se vincula con Puertos como Guaymas, Mazatlán, Lázaro Cárdenas, entre otros puntos que fungen como receptores en el litoral conformando una red o sistema de distribución tierra adentro de combustibles y/o petrolíferos. El puerto de Salina Cruz, Oaxaca, se caracteriza por manejar el tráfico de carga de la región sur y sureste de la República Mexicana que comprende los estados de Oaxaca, Chiapas, Veracruz, Campeche, Tabasco, Puebla, entre otros. Los principales productos que se manejan en esta región son: café, productos químicos, cemento, cerveza, madera, azúcar; asimismo, fertilizante de importación y maíz de cabotaje, los cuales son distribuidos a las zonas de consumo agrícola.

Using the concept of economic convergence, we find mixed evidence for poorer areas catching up with richer areas during a single decade of economic growth. Indeed, some poorer regions thanks to negative growth have actually diverged away from wealthier areas.

  • Huatulco, Mexico Nine Bays Bordered by 36 Golden-Sand Beaches Form the Beautiful Las Bahias De Huatulco in the State of Oaxaca
    http://www.princess.com/find/excursion/exlistfordestination.page?t=T&po... Huatulco, Mexico Nine bays bordered by 36 golden-sand beaches form the beautiful Las Bahias de Huatulco in the state of Oaxaca. Welcome to Mexico's newest resort on the Pacific Riviera. Huatulco is a tropical Eden with crystalline waters, coral reefs, and uncrowded beaches. Inland, the rugged coast range is thickly carpeted with rainforest and coffee plantations. While Huatulco is still in its early stages of development, travelers may note that the resort has a different feel from other destinations on the Mexican Riviera. That's because large areas of Huatulco have been designated as an ecological reserve. Huatulco is located in the state of Oacaca where the foothills of the Sierra Madre del Sur Mountains meet the Pacific Ocean.
