What to expect

We started pedaling for 20 minutes until leaving the city and then ascending 400mts by road until we reached the top of the ruins of Monte Albán. Once at the top we will rest and eat a rich snack while our guides go to find tickets to visit the Ruins of Mount Alban (ticket included) and where you can have free time to admire the pyramids. Once we have toured and explored the archaeological site we will begin our descent through ecological terraced paths with fast and fun sections of difficulty Intermediate / Advanced until we reach the main road that leads us back to the city.

Depending on the available time and stake of the group, we will climb the last 150mts to the top of the ruins of Atzompa where we will take the last descent that takes us to an old and still functional, water eye where we can rest from the sun and return to the historic center of the city passing through the old train station and enjoying the culture, colors and art that abounds in all its streets.
