Description

Explore the ruins of Monte Albán on this day trip and delve into Mexican tradition, history and culture by visiting the villages of Arrazola and San Bartolo Coyotepec.

Excursion to Monte Albán & Villages

We'll pick you up from your hotel in Oaxaca and set off to the archaeological site of Monte Alban. One of the most important discoveries of the Zapotec civilisation.

We'll visit its residential structures, pyramids, temples and altars. Do you want to know what rites were practised there? Pay attention to the guide's explanations! Nearby, we'll visit the pre-Hispanic jewellery shop to see the replicas of the aboriginal jewellery, which will fascinate you!

Our next stop will be the village of Arrazola to see its traditional Alebrijes, colourful wooden figures that are an important part of Mexican culture.

The route will continue to San Bartolo Coyotepec to visit a black clay workshop. These natural pieces are an icon of the town. There, you'll have an hour of free time for lunch.

Finally, after 8 hours of adventure, we'll take you back to your hotel in Oaxaca.

Hotel Pickup

Pickup will be from hotels in the historic centre of Oaxaca and in the Colonia Trinidad Huertas.

Comparado con los precios que circulan por el pueblo es una excursión cara, pero dudo muchísimo que los guías de aquellos tours estuvieran tan preparados como Daniel. Él hizo la diferencia al tour 100%. Además el transporte en muy buenas condiciones y el conductor Gabriel muy bueno. Translate this opinion into English.

Compared to the prices that are circulating in the town, it is an expensive excursion, but I highly doubt that the guides on those tours were as well prepared as Daniel. He made the difference to the tour 100%. In addition, the transport was in very good condition and the driver Gabriel was very good. Opinion translated. Show original.

The guide Moisés was very good. Monte Albán is beautiful, the workshops were interesting, the buffet is 200 pesos with drinks but it has everything. Buying it through Civitatis is a bit more expensive than in the city, it doesn't include tickets. I recommend it anyway. Opinion translated. Show original.
