A rough plan, not a spreadsheet
4 nights in Oaxaca, two ways
- Day 1
Land and get straight into it
- Morning
- Drop bags in Centro, then out the door in twenty minutes.
- Afternoon
- Walking tour of your own making: the food, the viewpoint, the photo everyone wanted.
- Night
- Big dinner, big plans board.
- Day 2
The big day out
- Morning
- Day trip out of Centro. Alarm set, actually.
- Afternoon
- Two sights, one absurd lunch.
- Night
- Shower, revive, back out. Nobody sits down.
- Day 3
The Oaxaca main event
- Morning
- Book the thing this place is known for. Yes, in advance.
- Afternoon
- Explore Jalatlaco properly instead of scrolling about it.
- Night
- Live music, late food, longer walk home.
- Day 4
Last push, then flights
- Morning
- The one thing someone's been asking for all trip.
- Afternoon
- A final coffee and the group's best photo of the week.
- Night
- Airport, aching legs, immediate plans for next year.
Steal it, ignore it, or hand it to the friend who insists on a spreadsheet.
