Guelaguetza Update: 1) It appears that Ticketmaster is still not selling tickets. Contact your hotel or B & B, and ask them to buy your seats for you. They should not balk. It's part of providing value added service, which every lodging in Oaxaca should be providing. 2) A few weeks ago an article appears in a Oaxaca daily, assuring everyone that the new roof would be complby Alvin Starkman - City of Oaxaca
Well, things are forever changing at Hierve el Agua. As of June, 2011, there is once again a toll booth as you leave San Lorenzo Albarradas, the final leg on the trip to Hierve el Agua using the "good" route. It's only 10 pesos, but prospective visitors should be aware so they're not taken by surprise. On the other hand, you no longer have to walk in the last half mile or sby Alvin Starkman - City of Oaxaca
As of the third week of March, 2011, access to Hierve el Agua has improved dramatically, almost to pre-dispute levels. You can get right to San Lorenzo Albarradas using the brand new highway, with a bit of ingenuity and circumventing a couple of little blockades.

If that doesn't provide sufficient assurance, then book your flights around the last Monday in July, which will give you an assurance that you won't miss out. In your pby Alvin Starkman - City of Oaxaca
The hotel has been around for years. It's a few door down from the zócalo. It's owned by the family which owns Mario's Terra Nova, the restaurant / café on the east side of the zócalo. For the restaurants and reservations for special events, I have always dealt with Yvonne, and found her very personable and accommodating. The old business card I have notes the following: gby Alvin Starkman - City of Oaxaca
I agree with the last poster regarding waiting to book, unless of course you will only be in Oaxaca for a couple of days and are concerned about not getting the time you want. In this case, consider one of the many van services.by Alvin Starkman - City of Oaxaca
