Oaxaca Palapa
Jump to Comments
The palapas in Oaxaca utilize a different type of palm frond for the roof covering than is used in the palapas in Veracruz and the Yucatan, which use the long fronds from the Royal Palm. You may remember this discussion of palapas I posted about a year ago.Oaxaca palapas use smaller, fan shaped fronds, from which type of palm I don’t know. As you may see in the photo the upper most leaves of the frond are tied around the poles laid horizontally across the rafters.
