To start with, Oaxaca is both a state and city in southern
Mexico. The state is the fourth largest
state in Mexico. The city of Oaxaca is
the capital of the state, and is about 320 miles (about a six hour drive)
southeast of Mexico City. It is
mountainous and the city is part of a valley with an altitude of 5100
feet. The city has a tropical savannah
climate with a wet season and a dry season.
The state goes all the way to the Pacific Ocean and includes
the tourist beaches of the bays of Huatulco.
Northwest along the coast, but outside of Oaxaca State, is the major
tourist city of Acapulco. For a very
complete description of Oaxaca, go to the Wikipedia website for the city:
