In order to know Oaxaca, you have to feel Oaxaca from within. You may know a thing or two from Oaxaca. People commonly know what it is and where it is located. But nothing is truly known. It is a place considered a World Heritage Site by UNESCO due to their richness in their food, cultural traditions and architectural jewels. Oaxaca became popular because Frida Kahlo made sure to expose its culture through her famous paintings. Oaxaca is one of Mexico’s most important sites and people who visit and live there think they know how it works. Yet, they don’t know a single thing of what they’re visiting. Oaxaca is still an enigma. In 2011; I was able to attend their big celebration; “La Guelaguetza” which is celebrated yearly in the capital of the state; Oaxaca. Many indigenous cultures come to the celebration and they dance and sing on the streets representing the 8 different regions in the state. Magic is all around. I made the decision to get to know Oaxaca and begin “Inside Oaxaca”. Sometimes you drive for nine hours to travel 186 miles. It sometimes turns out to be exhausting to the driver but worth it to the photographer. Since I drive by myself, the road seems to constantly surprise both the driver and photographer in me. There are 570 counties in Oaxaca distributed in 8 regions. Each region has its own cultural richness and traditions. Getting to know the insides of Oaxaca is what makes you fall in love with a magical Mexico. Once you feel Oaxaca in your skin; the emperor’s heritage touches your heart making you fall in love with an unexplored land waiting to be discovered.
