Cruising Mexico – Colonial Cities – Oaxaca – Off the Beaten Path, Volume 3

Discover the vibrant city of Oaxaca, a “must see” colonial city on any Mexican itinerary. This video is Volume 3 in a three-part series about cruising Mexico’s Pacific coast in your own boat. Presented as one cruiser sharing tips with another, this video explains where to leave the boat on the coast so you can get inland to visit this colorful and historic city, and how to plan the specifics of your trip. Also included are side-trips to the evocative ancient ruins of Monte Alban and Mitla nearby as well as to some of the stunning landscapes nearby. Botanical gardens, glorious cathedrals, petrified waterfalls, exquisite rug weavings, ancient artifacts, lively street performers, gorgeous architecture and the world’s largest tree all await you in Oaxaca.About the photographers and narrator: Emily Fagan and Mark Fagan sailed Mexico’s Pacific coast and Sea of Cortez for almost four years, and they have published many feature articles about cruising Mexico in the major sailing magazines, including: Cruising World, Sailing Magazine, Blue Water Sailing and Sail Magazine.
