Oaxaca Information

Oaxaca's Web Community, was created in October 1998 by Juan Antonio Ruiz Zwollo. It is a colletion of Web-sites and forums related to Oaxaca and its people. The Web-site is maintained 100% by volunteers without any commercial intentions. The largest site which forms part of Oaxaca's Web Community is Oaxaca's Tourist Guide... a Web-site which was started in mid-1995 also by Juan Antonio Ruiz Zwollo. It contains (when finished) more than 400 pages of text and more than 1250 high-resolution photographs describing more than 350 different Natural and Cultural Attraction of Oaxaca. It also contains Travel Tips, a Hotels database, music, maps, and much more. The Tourist Guide has received more than 70'000 visitors since 1996 and has been awarded more than 10 different prizes for its design and content. The Tourist Guide was made in co-operation with Oaxaca's Ministry of Tourism Development. Oaxaca's Web Community was started to add what the Tourist Guide was missing: interactivity. And also to bring together different Web-sites about Oaxaca to form a place where Oaxacans and foreigners can establish contact, share experiences, attain information... in short: Create a Virtual Community.
