Oaxaca (pronounced "Wah-HA-Ca") is located along the Pacific coast in southern Mexico.

Oaxaca City is the state’s capital and is one of the largest cities in Mexico's southern region, sitting in a valley surrounded by the rugged and breathtaking Sierra Madre del Sur Mountains. While the city's economy relies on modern industry, Oaxaca's colonial charm has remained intact and was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987. Oaxaca features a variety of cultural landmarks including the Museo Rufino Tamayo and the Museo de Arte Contemperaneo, as well as the historic temple and convent of Santo Domingo de Guzman, among others.

Huatulco is located on the Oaxacan Pacific coast and has average temperature of 82 degrees and clear skies all year round. It is known for its nine bays of cerulean waters, beautiful sand and unique and private landscapes spanning 21 miles. The surrounding vegetation ranges from lush forests, sheltering herons, pelicans and falcons, to mangrove swamps with skunks, raccoons and armadillos. The city’s breathtaking vegetation, coupled with the unspoiled beaches of Chachacual, Cacaluta, El Organo and Conejos, make it one of the most beautiful destinations in Mexico.

Also located on the Oaxacan Pacific coast is Puerto Escondido, a traditional Mexican fishing village known as the Emerald Coast for its magnificent jade-green waters. The city attracts tourists from all over the world for its remarkable surfing, natural scenic beauty, extraordinary bays and pleasant tropical climate. It is located 200 miles south of the city of Oaxaca and 65 miles west of Huatulco Bay.
