La Casa de Mezcal - Oaxaca, Mexico

Our final overnight bus ride took us to Oaxaca, the Mezcal (a spirit similar to Tequila) and food capital of Mexico. Oaxaca is particularly famous for Mole (a chilli chocolate sauce) and for its love of fried bugs! Oaxaca is also a beautiful artistic colonial city in its own right. We spent many hours wandering through the streets taking photos, popping into art galleries and chomping down a quick taco or two. A trip to Oaxaca is not complete without a visit to Hierves de Agua, which literally means boiling water - a little ironic given that the water comes from freezing mineral springs. The Springs create a pool that hangs off the mountain - the most perfect natural infinity pool.
