New Travel Video by Alexandra Nunez
Written and produced by Alexandra Nunez, a native of Mexico and long-time traveler, this information-packed documentary offers an insider's view of Oaxaca on how to explore the vibrant cultures and stunning beauty of this southern Mexican state, and do it all on a reasonable budget. As summed-up by Alexandra Nunez in her comprehensive web site, "The video enables viewers to take charge of their own trips. We spend some time at each of the 'big tourist destinations', but then go beyond the tourism beaten-track. This is travel made easy, with all the practical information for anyone to actually go and get there on the web site."
Alexandra's Travelogues: Oaxaca plays into a traveler's love of planning and anticipating a trip. It previews the sights in historical and cultural context, demonstrates how to get from here to there, offers tips on meeting people and understanding local cultures, while at the same time providing insights into Oaxaca way of life and history. It promotes independent travel, but also shows how a cruise or a guided tour can be just the right choice to save time and money.
Alexandra starts from readily accessible Mexico City, then travels to the major cities of Oaxaca and finds easy ways to escape the crowds and get off the beaten path by car or bus. She hops aboard ferries, bus lines and taxis. She shares practical tips on enjoying local gastronomy, shopping for the best handicrafts or discovering little-know paradisiacal beaches.
But this documentary entirely shot on location in Oaxaca is more than a collection of travel tips. Exploring ancient pre-Columbian ruins, museums, churches, and cobbled cities, Alexandra sweeps viewers back into Mexico's rich history. Wandering through centuries-old Spanish mansions, temples and plantations, she shows how various religious and political orders battled over the centuries to conquer this strategic and wealthy land. Viewers will discover handicraft-filled marketplaces, surfer's paradises, secluded virgin beaches, and lush tropical forests next to icy canyons. Alexandra shops, sails, samples local cooking, splurges at posh resorts, and climbs to the top of lighthouses and ancient pyramids hunting for the best views. |
