END OF THE LINE FOR OUR GUIDEBOOK VIVA OAXACA

After many years researching, writing and revising our guidebook to Oaxaca, Viva Oaxaca: An Insider's Guide to Oaxaca's Charms, we've decided that it's time to retire it. The Kindle version will no longer be available, nor will new copies of the print version. However, used copies should still be available via amazon.com and other sources of used books.

We want to thank all of the readers over the years who have told us that Viva Oaxaca added something to their time in Oaxaca. That was our goal, and we're glad to have been able to contribute in that way.

Of course, Oaxaca continues to be a beautiful, fascinating and rewarding place to visit. We'll continue to write and post photos about our experience of Oaxaca on this site.

Staying up to date about Oaxaca

I just read a USA Today travel tip about Oaxaca.

The author relied on four references, three of which were from 2006 and 2007, and apparently had never been to Oaxaca. Her first food recommendation was for a restaurant that once was good but has been closed for several years. She described the town of La Crucecita and the Pacific coast beaches as "just outside Oaxaca." Actually, to get to them from the city, it's a six or seven hour car or bus ride over very winding roads, or an expensive 40-minute flight.

The moral of the story--things change aren't always as they sound in the guidebooks. Make sure that the travel information you rely on is first-hand and up to date.
