Visit what may be the oldest city in the western hemisphere! Built by Zapotecs around 300 -500 BC, this incredible site sits alone on a hilltop carved away by its
builders. The spectacular location alone makes it worth a visit. From here you can see the valleys and villages around Oaxaca City and the City itself. Amazing architecture constructed with the most basic tools stirs the imagination. There are bas relief carvings of disputed meaning in the "Gallery of the Dancers." A museum on the premises shows the original position of the skeletons found in its tombs and some of the artifacts. Monte Alban is close to Oaxaca City, but to see the site you'll want a minimum of three hours.
