Zona Arqueologica de Monte Alban

Monte Albán is the large urban center built by Zapotec culture. It is the most important archaeological area of the State of Oaxaca. Part of the LIST of UNESCO World Heritage Sites, this will be our first stop. In Monte Albán the Teotihuacana influence is appreciated in its architecture, ceramics and mural painting among other aspects. At the end of the Early Classic the link with Teotihuacán is broken and the Zapotec territorial political organization reaches the highest level of development but also of social inequality (González Licón 2011). For the Postclassic the power of Mount Albán as a hegemonic city was totally lost, and the cities of the central valleys are influenced by the advent of the Mixtec groups. Monte Albán is no exception, with this influence appreciated in the famous tomb 7 discovered by Alfonso Caso in 1932.

San Antonio Arrazola is located 10 km from the road to Zaachila. Commonly known as "Arrazola", famous for the manufacture of alebrijes: Mexican craftsmanship created by Manuel Jiménez. It is made with different types of paper or wood carved and painted with cheerful and vibrant colors, represented by jaguars, tigers, mermaids, cats and nahuales. Although today they can be made with various techniques, this community stands out for using wood carving, a knowledge transmitted from generation to generation. Visit the Museum - Workshop of Angelica Jiménez, grandson of Don Manuel, to appreciate or acquire one of these pieces of art.

Published on Dec, 2023

Knowledgeable guide Ere, she was sincere, charismatic and you can tell she loves what she does. She peppered our tour with history, anecdotes and a personal love of the city. Felt super safe as Isaias the driver behind the wheel. Great tour of 4 great places and the lunch stop was delish, such reasonably priced and such a huge array of traditional dishes. I strongly recommend!
