Oaxaca Travel Tips for a Seamless Getaway

Here are a few essential Oaxaca travel tips to help make your journey even more memorable:

  • Language: Spanish is widely spoken, though many locals understand English in tourist zones.
  • Currency: Mexican peso. Most upscale places accept cards, but carry cash for markets.
  • Dress: Light, breathable clothing. Bring layers if visiting higher elevations or during winter evenings.
  • Connectivity: Wi-Fi is widely available in luxury villas and resorts.

And the question we’re often asked: Is it safe to travel to Oaxaca? Yes, with standard travel precautions. Most travelers experience a welcoming and relaxed environment, particularly in coastal and tourist-friendly areas. Isle Blue’s local team remains available for on-ground support and trusted guidance.


Travel Smart: Safety Advisory for Oaxaca Visitors

Due to an increase in crime in the Mexican state of Nayarit, guests are urged to exercise increased caution when traveling in the region. According to the Government of Mexico statistics, the state experienced an increase in homicide rates compared to the same period in 2016. While most of these homicides appeared to be targeted criminal organization assassinations, turf battles between criminal groups have resulted in violent crime in areas frequented by U.S. citizens. 

  • Use toll roads when possible and avoid driving at night.
  • Exercise increased caution when visiting local bars, nightclubs, and casinos.
  • Do not display signs of wealth, such as wearing expensive watches or jewelry.
  • Be extra vigilant when visiting banks or ATMs.
  • Enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) to receive alerts and make it easier to locate you in an emergency.
  • Follow the Department of State on Facebook and Twitter.
  • Review the Crime and Safety Reports for Mexico.
  • U.S. citizens who travel abroad should always have a contingency plan for emergency situations.
