What creators say
Walk through the incredibly preserved ancient city to imagine life in Oaxaca centuries ago and explore the Zapotec ruins.
In their own words: “right outside the city stands Monte Alban, the original Native settlement of the Zapotecs. This incredibly preserved ancient city was the centre of social and political life of the Zapotecs for centuries. Today, you can still walk the ancient city, and imagine life in Oaxaca centuries ago.”
Explore the ancient Zapotec ruins and enjoy the strategic views, but consider hiring a guide to fully appreciate its historical significance.
In their own words: “God damn phenomenal really really impressive definitely worth a day trip from iwaka it probably just take you half a day really but um I would say get a guide I think this would be more enjoyable if we knew a little bit more information.”
