Is this trip right for you

Mexico City and Puebla sit at over 2000m (6000 ft) above sea level, which means they can be quite cool compared to warmer and more humid Oaxaca. Be prepared with layers, including a warm outer layer, and remember to stay hydrated.
While no special physical preparation is required for this trip, you can expect to do a lot of walking, sometimes on uneven terrain.
