What To Expect
Our exciting half-day journey starts when we meet you at your hotel's lobby or Airbnb.
A certified bilingual guide will take you through the history and culture of Monte Albán, which is a major urban center built by the Zapotec Culture. It is the most important archaeological site in Oaxaca, and it has been proclaimed Cultural Heritage of Humanity along with the City of Oaxaca by UNESCO on December 11th, 1997.
Its main buildings are: La Gran Plaza, Juego de Pelota, Sistema lI, Los Danzantes, Edification "J", Edificaciones centrales G.H.I, El Palacio, I Plataforma Sur, Sistema 7 Venados and Tumba número 7. La Gran Plaza is 656 feet long and 656 feet wide since the salient rocks had to be trimmed and gaps had to be filled in.
The journey ends around 12:00 p.m., when we drop you off downtown, at your hotel's lobby or Airbnb. Just in time to taste a delicious lunch at one of our local restaurants.
