Oaxaca sits in a high valley in southern Mexico, at about 1,500 metres, with mountains on every side and an old city at its centre that feels more like a village in its pace. The Zapotec and Mixtec peoples have lived in this region for thousands of years, and their influence is still strong, with a number of indigenous languages spoken and local crafts such as woven rugs, black clay pottery and carved wooden animals sold in the markets. The Spanish added churches and convents, and the cathedral and Santo Domingo, with its gilded interior, are among the finest in the country.

Far back in the story of human food, a cave in the Oaxaca valley holds some of the oldest evidence of the domestication of maize. In Guilá Naquitz, one of the caves of Yagul, excavations in the 1960s found small cobs of wild corn and squash seeds dated to around ten thousand years ago, showing how early hunter-gatherers began to cultivate plants. UNESCO inscribed the Prehistoric Caves of Yagul and Mitla in 2010 for that evidence.
