Fetch your suitcase, exit Oaxaca, Oaxaca Airport (OAX-Xoxocotlan Intl.), and collect your rental car. Which one you slide into depends on where you’ll be going. If you’ll be spending a good deal of time driving in downtown Oaxaca, around 4 miles from the terminal, go for something zippy and small. A compact car with nimble handling will be ideal for those busy streets. But with a smorgasbord of things to see, like the glorious cliffs of the region, you’ll probably be racking up a few miles. A larger vehicle, like an SUV or a full-size car, will make lengthier road trips a pleasure.
