Hike to Monte Albán at Sunrise

It is the only short hike in the mountains of the city and from here you can spend an incredible morning with the view of the valley at sunrise without having to spend a whole day traveling, you can also visit the archaeological zone at the end of your hike. We have been doing the walks for more than 3 years and you will be able to hear the legends and stories of those of us who live near the archaeological zone. You can take a taxi or a bus to return to the city, it is the perfect way to enjoy the city, climb a mountain and also see the Zapotec city. The activity only takes 2 and a half hours, so if you have other activities in your day you can do them without having to allocate a whole day to an incredible hike in the mountains of Oaxaca.
