Oaxaca de Juárez in 2026 — gastronomic and artisan heritage
Oaxaca de Juárez is the capital of the state of Oaxaca and the nucleus of the metropolitan area that concentrates around 700,000 inhabitants. Declared UNESCO World Heritage together with the Monte Albán archaeological zone in 1987, the city is famous for its colonial heritage, its gastronomy (inscribed in 2010 as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO), the Guelaguetza as the major cultural festival, the Day of the Dead with its unique tradition, and the artisan production of alebrijes, textiles, black ceramic and mezcal.
The local economy rests on five main pillars: gastronomy (Oaxaca is considered Mexico's gastronomic capital with seven moles, tlayudas, tamales, chapulines and mezcal as flagship products), cultural and heritage tourism (with flows during Guelaguetza in July, Day of the Dead in November, and high season from December to April), artisan production (more than 100 active workshops of alebrijes, textiles and ceramic), mezcal (with denomination of origin since 1994 and more than 100 brands certified by COMERCAM), and low-impact boutique hospitality. Invoicing operates predominantly in MXN with CFDI 4.0 (16% IVA) and Carta Porte 3.0 where transport applies.
