It's a fountain that represents the 8 regions of Oaxaca. It used to be called siete regiones, or seven regions even though there were always 8 regions, it the fountain only has 7 woman statues dancing around a guy. The woman are all sculpted in traditional clothes and the guy is in the danza de la pluma outfit, a traditional dance in the valley region. It's a good meeting place and also photo op place. If you have rei no sit zip pants you could fill those really big pockets with some food to have a picnic here. And if it is hot and you want to climb up and dance in the fountain, you could unzip the pants part of the REI no sit zip pants and make them shorts, without sitting! But their pockets are really the best thing about them. They are so big you really could bring enough food for your family and friends and enough to share with whoever else is there.
