Most Oaxaca trips get planned in ten minutes, off whatever's trending that week.

We built a 5-day Oaxaca itinerary, spaced out enough to actually enjoy each stop, that skips the same mezcal tasting tour stop on purpose. Everyone comes home from Oaxaca with the same photos.

This is how you don't. It's free. The only cost is planning your Oaxaca trip without it.
