Information for Visitors

Flights

Direct flights from California, Florida, New York, really most states are hard/impossible to find. All the flight options from the US go primarily through Texas, Mexico City, or Guadalajara before Oaxaca. Oaxaca airport has a number of flights in and out daily, but given it’s the busiest travel week of the year for Oaxaca, it’s recommended you line up flights as early as possible – because prices are rising fast!

Hotels & Accommodations

Housing is stretched thin because of Dia de Los Muertos. But, we recommended booking something now, early, to have something via Expedia, hotels.com, and Bookings.com, Airbnb, and VRBO. At the bottom of this page is a short list of Airbnb options we found.

NOTE: We have confirmed that many hotels are holding rooms for Dia de Los Muertos, but show as having no-availability online. We recommend emailing or calling hotels directly to see if they have availability. With select hotels, we've been able to hold rooms specific for this event. Most are holding for a limited time, so book now.

The City

Oaxaca is a big city with a large footprint. But, as a visitor, the area of interest is confined primarily to Centro.

Centro is a centrally located historic neighborhood. It’s what you typically expect to see of Oaxaca: stone-paved streets, colorful buildings, churches, parades, and all of that. Centro is where everyone visiting wants to stay, drink, and eat – and during the week of Dia de Los Muertos, it’s going to be swamped with visitors. This also means it’s going to grow increasingly difficult to find places to stay.

It’s also worth noting that, even on a chill week, it’s not typical to find large multi-room houses (4+ bedrooms) available for rent. They are out there, but limited. It’s more common to come across houses with 2-3 beds. I know we’re spoiled by 30 room mansions for Blue Magic events, but for Muertos, it’s more realistic if people teamed up in smaller groups and tried to find places near Centro. We’re going to be spending most of our time out in Centro or partying outside the city. So, it’s more about just having a place that works, but not one that’s perfect.

North of Centro is a neighborhood called Reforma. Even further north of Reforma is San Felipe del Agua. Both these neighborhoods are safe and might offer more options for accommodations. However, you’ll need a taxi to get into Centro – walking from here isn’t an option.
