Guided Monte Albán half-day with air-conditioned van, Zapotec stories, and flexible time on site. Tickets cost extra.
“Definitely worth it! The history is fantastic and the views are spectacular. There are a lot of high uneven steps to see the best views, so dress appropriately! I'd recommend the morning, because it gets hot in the afternoon...dress in layers for a cool morning and warmer late morning.”

A guided Oaxaca day trip hitting Tree of Tule, Mitla, Teotitlán weaving, Hierve el Agua, and a mezcal tasting, with pickup and entry included.
“Everything was fantastic. The only improvement point is the mezcal tasting, it wasn’t a tasting, the explanation was very poor, the samples were limited and the goal of the mezcal shop was clearly just selling. The guide and driver were super nice and highly recommend.”

“Monte Alban is jaw-dropping. It is the most extraordinary place. Nobody should miss it. It’s so close to Oaxaca Juarez and has been restored so beautifully, it is a highlight of Oaxaca. Ivan was a fantastic guide. He was very knowledgeable about the Zapotec monuments and the culture and history of the region.”
