In this paper we propose an integral methodology to spatially represent the landscapes of the coastal region of Oaxaca at a scale of 1: 250,000. For this purpose, we start from the geosystemic and bioclimatic approach, using inputs of relief types, lithology, precipitation and temperature patterns at different spatial scales and extending the analysis with photointerpretation. Once the information was processed, the landscape units were delimited. The map shows a total of 58 units distributed in 6 isobioclimates, which reflects a very significant geoecological heterogeneity. The combination of both approaches represents a novel advantage for landscape mapping, since it allows us to represent detailed information at different scales, making the map of the coast of Oaxaca a useful and efficient input for territorial planning and management at a local scale
