Monte Alban was really impressive. It is located 15 minutes outside the city center. Once you get there, it's a zoo. There are tour buses, and tourists from all over the world. The information office offers English, Italian and German guides for a small fee. Daniel and I walked it solo. It is an impressive and well preserved site. It's also huge. You can imagine how powerful a site it once was for the Zapotec and Aztec societies that once roamed and ruled this area. We read that the city had slowly evolved over 5 phases. The site itself is about 1,800 years old. If ever you make it to Oaxaca, this is a must see! There are a few wow moments when you get to the top of the ruins.
