Intro to the trip: Stage 2 Villahermosa to Oaxaca: 6 days

STAGE 2: Villahermosa to Oaxaca: 6 days, 609km

This stage starts with a flattish, rolling initial 4 days along one of Mexico's main transportation corridors. It can best be described as "utilitarian"; it takes us from A to B. The final 2 days of the ride plunge us upwards into the mountains of Oaxaca. This region is known for it's isolated indigenous culture and, being off the main tourist path, will be the most backwater section of the trip. Oaxaca city is known for its beauty and artistry, as well as some mountainous Maya archaeological sites.
