Very well done. Looks like you were at the bottom of the clouds. What was your altitude at that point?

Thanks! 500m AGL, and my takeoff location is about 1,700m elevation. It had rained the day before so we got these beautiful wispy clouds in the morning.

Love Oaxaca! We were there for the Guelaguetza a few years ago and stayed in a rental near the Cathedral that is prominent in your video.

Thanks for refreshing the memory.

I suspect you mean the cathedral in Oaxaca city. The church showing in this video is that of San Andres Huayapam, a little village just outside of the city. You may have come here for the tejate feria (fair) that they have twice a year, once before Easter (unfortunately cancelled this year), and once during guelaguetza. I will most certainly be taking some drone video during the next fair - hopefully conditions are right for that and guelaguetza to happen this summer.

I hope that you and everyone come back to visit when this is all over!!!
