Money-Saving Tips for Oaxaca
- Take a cooking class — Oaxacan cuisine (mole, tlayudas, chapulines) is Mexico's most complex
- Visit Monte Albán ruins at opening time for misty mountain views and empty plazas
- Mezcal tasting in the nearby villages of Santiago Matatlán is far better than tourist bars
- The Benito Juárez market is overwhelming in the best way — go hungry
- Visit during shoulder season (October to April) for the best balance of weather and prices
