How to Spend 5 Days in Oaxaca (Updated 2025)

"Set in downtown Oaxaca, this complex features a photogenic 17th-century Baroque Roman Catholic church, a cultural museum, and a botanical garden; originally a Dominican church and monastery, it was later used as a barracks and military building during Mexico’s revolution and well into the 1990s, and I expect to spend a couple of hours exploring the entire site." - Matthew Kepnes
