Directions: Fly into Oaxaca City or into Mexico City and then take a bus (6 hours) to Oaxaca from the TAPO terminal in Mexico City. This box is in my magical garden outside my apt. in Oaxaca. You'll need to call me or send me an email to get directions/clues. Tel: 515-6560.
I decided to do this an unconventional way, since it's difficult to hide a box in the city and I'd rather not send tourists/visitors traipsing into the hinterland.
Oaxaca (pronounced Wah-HAH-kah)is the site of restored ruins of one of North America's largest and oldest city states, Monte Alban. It's a town full of colorfully dressed indigenous folk balancing goods on their heads and peddling everything in the street from ladders to flowers. You'll find the Mexicans here very friendly and helpful.
Within 20 minutes by bus from the city, you can be in wide open spaces...farmland...with fields of alfalfa, corn, and agave plants (from which mescal is made). Dozens of nearby small villages are home to craftsmen who make wooden carvings, baskets, handwoven rugs, pottery, and textiles. They welcome you into their home workshops where you can watch them make their crafts.
I mention all these things in case you need a reason to visit, other than finding my letterbox.
