Living in downtown is a privilege since you have quick access to many restaurants, museums, art galleries, and cultural activities, in addition, as it is a middle point, other tourist attractions are 30 to 40 from it. That is why, this time I will present you 8 pristine places close to Oaxaca downtown you can visit and know more about its culture. 

Monte Albán 

 

This is the most famous archeological zone in Oaxaca, it was one of the most important cities in Mesoamerica. It was founded in 500 BC, n the top of a mountain in the center of the Central Valleys of Oaxaca, and functioned as the capital of the Zapotecs from the beginning of our era until 800 AD.C. At its moment of greatest development, Monte Albán came to have about 35,000 inhabitants, who lived mostly on the terraced slopes of the mountain, dedicated to agriculture. 

This site keeps vestiges of what this culture was, there is a museum in which different jewelry, pots, and other antique Zapotec objects can be admired.

Mitla 

Following on the line of the archeological places. here is Mitla, also the house of the Zapotecs. It is a place where the stone was worked as jewelry, and the Zapotecs showed its devotions to the dead. In all of this, the imprint of the skills of this indigenous group and their prodigious world, born 18 centuries ago, can be observed. 

Among the buildings that composed the site, the Hall of Columns stands out, inside which a row of such architectural elements, carved in a single piece of stone, fulfilled the function of supporting and decorating. 

After the fall of Monte Albán, it gained great importance, reaching its apogee around the year 1200, and retained preeminence in the Tlacolula Valley until the Spanish Conquest. 

Mitla is located 40 minutes from downtown, in the place can be also found handcrafts stores and traditional ice creams.

Tlacolula

Before getting to Mitla, it is Tlacolula de Matamoros. It is distinguished by its handcrafts, its gastronomy, and part of the archeological zone that belongs to Mitla too; its tianguis (street market) is an ancestral tradition that comes alive every Sunday, it is important to mention that this market was on of the pioneers of the prehispanic era. 

The temples of the towns tell us about their culture, traditions, and festivities, of course, the 17 th century temple of The Assumption is not the exception.

Talking about gastronomy, when you visit this place you can not leave without tasting a hot chocolate with delicious “Pan de cazuela”, and of course its “barbacoa”. 

it is also 40 minutes by car, approximately, from Oaxaca downtown. 

Santiago Matatlán, The World Capital of Mezcal 

As its name suggests, it is about a town where the ancestral beverage Mezcal is produced. As you may already know, this alcoholic drink is obtained from the “maguey”, there are in the world around 210 species of this plant, and we are really proud to say that Oaxaca has 120 of them. Santiago matlán was named The World Capital of Mezcal due to the quantity of Palenques (traditional places where the mezcal is produced with handmade processes) that can be found in it. You can visit them and observe the ancestral techniques to make the Mezcal, the process goes from the cooking of maguey “pineapples”, to their grinding, fermentation, and distillation. 

If you visit the community, do not forget to buy some Mezcal bottles, you will contribute to the economy of locals, who are completely dependent on the production and sale of this product. 

Hierve el Agua

It is a system of petrified waterfalls, formed by calcium carbonate. The waterfalls where naturally originated thousands of years ago from the runoff of water with high mineral content. The place is located about 70 kilometers from Oaxaca City, in the town of San Isidro Roaguía, Municipality of San Lorenzo Albarradas, near Mitla. The natural puddles with turquoise waters perfectly contrast with the mountains view. 

Did you know there is only one similar place to Hierve el Agua in the world? As you read it, there are only 2 petrified waterfalls in the world, the second ones are located in Turkey. 

 

La Cumbre Ixtepeji 

This community has great natural wealth in its ancient forest of pines and oaks, likewise natural landscapes of exceptional beauty, but above all in the enthusiasm, personal treatment, hospitality, and great respect for the environment that the inhabitants have.

We could not leave out in this list the towns where the famous alebrijes are created. The alebrijes are figures cut in wood, and they are painted with an original and curious design. They are imaginary creatures formed with animal parts and brilliant colors.  

It is important to mention that the alebrije is a handmade item because it is unique and cannot be repeated in a mold, since if it were, it would no longer be considered a craft as such within the group called alebrijes. The craftsman shapes his work and what he adds to it step by step determines its value.

 

San Martin Tilcajete is only 53 minutes (approximately) from Oaxaca City, meanwhile, Arrazola is only 26 minutes away. You will find in both towns artisans dedicated to the creation of this beautiful art.

WHAT IS THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT MANIFESTATION AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?

In a previous article, we explained the different construction services that we offer at SilMexico if your purpose is to carry out a development project. Among them was mentioned the EIM; Environmental Impact Manifestation. Next, we will tell you what it consists of and its importance. 

As human beings, we are used to innovating and to do changes in our surroundings, which should be always thought of as not affecting or affecting as little as possible the environment and its living things such as animals, plants, and the people who live there. That is why, with the purpose of preserving the most possible natural resources, in Mexico, the PROFEPA, which is the Federal Attorney for Environmental Protection has created mechanisms to regulate the activities done by man and their impact on the environment.

In Mexico, the General Law of Ecological Balance and Environmental Protection (LGEEPA) DEFINES ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT as the “modification of the environment caused by the action of man and nature”. To estimate the modifications to the environment caused by infrastructure projects, there is an instrument called Environmental Impact Assessment, through which the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT) evaluates the impact that works or construction will have on the environment (GOB.MX, 2019). 

The EIM is a tool of the environmental policy whose object is to prevent, decrease and restore the affectations on the environment, as well as the regulation of works or activities to avoid or reduce the negative effects on the natural environment and on the humans’ health. 

It consists of a technical and scientific study that indicates the effects that a work or activity can generate on nature and points out the preventive measures that could minimize the negative effects produced by the execution of developments. This study allows evaluation of environmental feasibility for the execution, manufacturing, commercial, or service investment projects. 

It details the condition of the place prior to the start of the project in order to have a comparison of what was the impact or changes that occurred on the environment after carrying out the construction, and likewise, proposes strategies to reduce or prevent damage already caused or possible future alterations. 

The EIM should be presented to the SEMARNAT for its evaluation and authorization. Once authorized, the PROFEPA will be in charge of verifying that the established terms and conditions are accomplished. 

That is the reason why, every time it is necessary to carry out projects that are kind to the environment, a key step in human evolution is sustainable construction and development.
