  • OAXACA Self-Guided Tour
    OAXACA: Self-Guided Tour A beautiful colonial city founded on a rich indigenous base, Oaxaca is Mexico’s most captivating destination. During its robust history, native religions have blended with Catholicism to give Oaxaca an intense and magical spirituality. Among its colorful streets and harmonious baroque architecture, Oaxaca’s scores of churches are considered the most stunning in Latin America. Set in a plateau enclosed by mountains, Oaxaca is surrounded by traditional indigenous villages and by archaeological treasures including Monte Alban, the oldest city of Mesoamerica and Zapotec holy site. Village artisans produce extraordinary carved and painted animals, various styles of intricate pottery, and prized rugs among many woven items. Bustling weekly markets and exuberant fiestas unfolding in the streets infuse Oaxaca with color and charm, adding to its allure as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Also known as the culinary capital of Mexico, Oaxaca is home to truly hospitable people who will share their talents and welcome you with their warm hearts. IF YOU HAVE TWO OR THREE DAYS Start with hanging out in the Zocolo to feel the pulse of the city, enjoy Oaxacan family outings, grandparenting, courting, live music and biweekly ballroom dancing. Plenty of vendors are selling their wares and various causes are championed. Extend your visit with a meal at the balcony of the upstairs Asador Vasco—best are their Oaxacan specialities. Head south another block to peruse the 20th of November Market, savoring another taste of local life and interests. A couple more blocks south and west you will find the colorful Artisan’s Market.

  • Ocotlán De Morelos Page 1 of 17
    Oaxaca - Ocotlán de Morelos Page 1 of 17 Enciclopedia de los Municipios de México ESTADO DE OAXACA OCOTLÁN DE MORELOS NOMENCLATURA Denominación Ocotlán de Morelos. Toponimia Ocotlán significa: “Junto a, o entre los Ocotes”; se forma con las voces Ocotl, “ocote o pino” y Tlan, “lugar“. Lleva el nombre de Morelos en honor a don José Ma. Morelos y Pavón. Para los antiguos pobladores Ocotlán tenía un solo significado que daban las siguientes voces “el lugar de ocotes” y “junto o entre los ocotes”. El significado proviene de las voces ocotl: ocote (pino), árbol de la tea y tlan: lugar de junta “de” o “entre de”. En un inicio tuvo el nombre de “Santo Domingo Ocotlán” debido a la llegada de los frailes dominicos a la región (esto fue en la víspera de la celebración del santo en el año de 1555), motivo por el cual se le nombró santo patrón a Santo Domingo de Guzmán. Posteriormente durante la época de la Independencia, las fuerzas armadas del caudillo, Generalísimo don José María Morelos y Pavón en su viaje hacia Acapulco, acamparon en el jardín de la población de Ocotlán durante 3 días. En memoria de este caudillo, los habitantes nombraron a la población “Ocotlán de Morelos”. Existen otras versiones sobre su significado en lengua zapoteca en la cual se conocía al poblado como “Lachiroo”, que significa: “Valle Grande”; los zapotecas de Tlacolula le llamaban Guelache, que quiere decir: “Plaza del Valle”. HISTORIA Reseña Histórica El origen de los primeros pobladores de Ocotlán no está aún definido, se cree que un núcleo familiar establecido en las faldas del cerro o loma llamada “Tortolita” ubicada a 2 kilómetros de distancia del actual Ocotlán.
