Extra Tips for Travelers in Oaxaca
A few practical things to know to stay healthy during your time in Oaxaca.
Altitude adjustment
Oaxaca City is at 1,500m — give yourself 24-48 hours to acclimatize. Avoid alcohol and strenuous exercise on your first day. Headaches and fatigue are normal; contact us if symptoms are severe or persist beyond 48 hours.
Never drink tap water
Always use bottled water for drinking, brushing teeth, and washing produce. This applies even in nice restaurants and hotels. Traveler’s diarrhea from contaminated water or ice is the most common tourist health issue in Oaxaca.
Scorpion awareness
Scorpions are present in Oaxaca, particularly in rural areas. Shake out shoes and clothing before wearing, check bedding in rural accommodations, and consult us immediately if stung — especially if you experience numbness or difficulty breathing.
Enjoy the food carefully
Oaxacan cuisine is incredible but can be heavy and spiced for unaccustomed stomachs. Introduce local food gradually, especially tlayudas, chapulines, and mole. Eat at busy, established spots and avoid raw vegetables from street vendors.
Avoid self-medicating
Antibiotics require a prescription in Mexico. Always consult a doctor first — our consultation takes 15 minutes and gives you a valid digital prescription immediately.
Official health guidance
For official travel health information for Mexico, visit the Secretaría de Salud México or your country’s travel advisory page before your trip.
What We Don’t Treat Online
