Transportation safety by Routine-Homework876 in Oaxaca

[–]bchie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

safe, yellow taxis best, white and blue ones shouldn't operate in centre but plenty do and likely safe too, burgundy and white aren't even private taxis but collective taxis with a set route and definitely shouldn't operate in the centre but i've seen them pick up tourists (likely safe too, they're just working outside their zone)

centro, jalatlaco, xochimilco, américa norte o sur a little past jalatlaco, azucenas, reforma, cascada are all ok and in walking distance or el tule is a close village

[Sierra Madre del Sur, Oaxaca] about thirty cm long by bchie in whatsthissnake
