Monte Albán: What to see in the surroundings?
What our travelers think about their stay
One of Mexico's largest archaeological sites, Monte Albán, standing with pride of place on Jaguar Mountain, looks out over the city of Oaxaca.
My suggestion
Take the time to fully absorb the atmosphere of the site and enjoy the superb panoramic views it offers.
Certainly one of the largest pre-hispanic towns of the Oaxaca region, it was at its most powerful during the Zapotec era.
My suggestion
If your budget is limited, you don't need your own transport, public buses leave from the center of Oaxaca and take you to the site's entrance.
