Visit a real treasure of Oaxaca with a private, licensed Private tour guide. Travel back to the 13th century!

Step into the heart of ancient Oaxaca and become part of the Zapotec civilization. You will explore Monte Albán’s sprawling terraces, pyramids, and palaces, uncovering the secrets of its tombs, tunnels, and mummified remains. As you wander through 1,606 acres of history, your private guide will reveal why the Zapotecs were called the “cloud people” and share stories that bring this 13th-century city to life. Feel the texture of ancient stones beneath your hands and admire intricate murals and stone carvings that have survived centuries. From the top of the pyramids, you will soak in sweeping 360° views of Oaxaca Valley, a panorama that connects past and present. Your journey concludes at the site’s museum, where you can reflect on the mysteries and mastery of a civilization that continues to captivate the world.
