Oaxaca, Mexico - Most Exotic Honeymoon Spot

In a list of the 50 best honeymoon spots for 2011, The Knot named Oaxaca as one of the top 10 most exotic honeymoon locations. Known for its strong culture and archeological sites, it's no wonder this area tops the list.

Reasons to go: This colonial town is lauded for staying true to its roots; come for outstanding regional cuisine (chocolate, mezcal and mole, oh my!), authentic crafts and ruins. 

Where to Stay: The Knot suggests Camino Real Oaxaca, a former convent turned grand hotel. 

What to Do: Learn about local cuisine with chef and culinary author Susana Trilling. Visit the market; then cook a feast at Trilling's Seasons of My Heart Cooking School.
